Why Academy?

The Church needs leaders who will step up, not step back. Leaders who see the problems in our world today as opportunities to bring Heaven down to Earth. Leaders who believe their generation can make a difference and that the time to do so is now!

If you're tired of sitting on the sidelines while God's Kingdom advances around you, this is your moment. Academy isn't just another program—it's your launchpad into the calling and purposes God has spoken over your life.

What It Takes

What You'll Experience

From October 2026 through May 2027, you'll partake in 16 intensive sessions – 2x per month – that are designed to transform passionate believers like yourself into equipped and emboldened leaders who change communities at Meta Church and beyond.

These 16 sessions cover a variety of subjects such as Identity, Apologetics, Gifts, Discipline, Leadership, Communication, and many more! The course load is broken down into three distinct parts:

FOUNDATIONS → Discover why the Church matters and who God created you to be

What Others Are Saying

"Boy, did God do some work and tweaking and adjusting in the areas I needed Him to! And I can't imagine not growing in relationship with the people who were part of Academy. I feel like, as a whole, our *church* is stronger now with this first wave of equipped leaders." – Maria

"If someone was thinking about doing Academy I would tell them it is not for people looking for another 'church' thing or bible study. Academy is an intensive and some sessions were hard for me to hear and the journey at times felt difficult, but the results were 1,000% worth it!" – Dan

"The timing of participating in Academy was a God-thing! It was the underpinning of what was has been a season of trial and tribulations for me. It’s equipped me not just for probably what is to come, but what I’ve been walking through in this season." – Aja
