Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

It has been estimated that only 5% of pastors globally receive the formalized training necessary to succeed in ministry. (Lausanne Movement, 2015) This leads to a serious lack of the skills, support, and relationships needed to grow and sustain a ministry today.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Carroll Institute is reinventing global graduate theological education in innovative, creative ways to make accredited ministerial education training relevant, practical, effective, accessible and affordable for Christian leaders. Its program offerings are biblically-based and transformational. They are designed to train men and women for excellence in leadership and ministry to the Church and society--in whatever place God has called graduates of its programs to serve--without disrupting their current place of service or requiring relocation and resulting loss of focus, due to the necessity for transplanted learners to undergo time-consuming cultural assimilation.

The Institute’s primary and on-going goals include creating a network of prayer partners, increasing the number of people and financial resources to carry out our mission, and delivering accredited theological education in innovative methodologies that will equip our missional leaders.
