Via Christus Academy
Our Purpose
Discipling mature leaders in God’s Word is a difficult challenge throughout Turkiye. Institutions related to the subject are few and academies are almost non-existent. When many pastors’ workload is already overwhelming and logisticals and financial issues are insurmountable, leadership training is also left entirely to the local church, and this reality seems like an impassable mountain to climb for many. This is why Via Christus is passionate about coming alongside the church to help them disciple local leaders. We want to see the gospel spread around the world and new churches established, and therefore we take the issue of leadership training seriously. Our goal is to produce Gospel-centered leaders who are spiritually mature, theologically equipped, competent, and filled with the desire to serve the local church and plant future churches. We believe that the church is the main means God has chosen to make disciples, and therefore we believe in church-sponsored, church-based, and church localized education.
