Health
Our bodies are the temple of God. Medical missionary training focuses on a personal lifestyle of health and how to use the right arm of the gospel – reaching people through meeting their needs. We believe the gospel and health can never be separated. Here students learn why!
Agriculture
Nature testifies of God’s love (White, Steps to Christ p. 9). Our agricultural course is designed to deepen the student’s relationship with their Creator through an appreciation of the natural world, provide an essential component of true education – manual labour, and equip them with skills in industry and mission that will allow them to be self-supporting.

If there is one work more important than another, it is that of getting our publications before the public, thus leading them to search the Scriptures. Missionary work—introducing our publications into families, conversing, and praying with and for them—is a good work, and one which will educate men and women to do pastoral labor.
Ellen White, Gospel Workers p. 342
