The River City School of Supernatural Ministry is dedicated to training and releasing people into ministry for this Revival. We are a "hands-on" school with a focus on character and supernatural power.

• Receive healing for life's hurts and walk in love, acceptance and forgiveness.

• Develop a servant's heart and learn to walk in servant Leadership.

• Be equipped and activated in practical ministry.

• Develop a Kingdom Mentality and love for the local Church.

We bless you as you seek God's direction in your personal training for ministry.

Student Policies

Standard of Conduct: Students will seek to “be imitators of God” with “not even a hint of sexual immorality, or any kind of   impurity,” living as “children of light” and finding out “what pleases the Lord.” (Eph.5:1-12) This standard governs our personal and public life.

Attendance: Students are expected to attend classes regularly and punctually. During each semester, the maximum number of absences permitted is six days. Exceptions to this policy will be made for extreme circumstances and emergencies only. If your absences total more than 12 days a school year, you will not receive a Certificate of Completion, but may still attend classes.

Discipline of Students: Any student who is found to be acting in a   manner that will bring discredit to the Kingdom of God will be disciplined. That student will meet with the overseer to discuss accountability. The student will be placed on probation if he/she fails to respond to correction. The overseer may also decide upon dismissal if such action is deemed appropriate.
