A school shaped by the presence of God.
ABOUT LIFESONG SCHOOL OF MINISTRY
LifeSong School of Ministry exists to help believers know God more deeply, understand His Word more faithfully, and serve His Kingdom with confidence. Here, biblical study, spiritual formation, and hands-on ministry come together in a community hungry for more of God.
Awakened. Formed. Equipped. Activated. Sent.
OUR MISSION
LifeSong School of Ministry exists to awaken, form, equip, activate, and send Spirit-filled leaders for the work of the Kingdom.
Rooted in the Word, formed in the presence of God, and planted in the life of the local church, we raise disciples who walk in Deeper Passion, Deeper Presence, and Deeper Purpose—prepared to serve faithfully, lead humbly, and carry the mission of Jesus into their generation.
Everything flows from His presence.
OUR FOUNDATION
We make room for worship, prayer, Scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit—because ministry is not something we manufacture. It is the overflow of a life being formed by God.
OUR CORE VALUES
What shapes life at LSOM.
-
We are rooted in the Word of God. We believe Scripture is living, life-giving, and essential for every disciple and leader. As we read, study, obey, and build our lives on God’s Word, we are formed in truth and equipped to walk in the abundant life Jesus promised.
-
We are centered on the presence of God. We believe lasting transformation happens when people encounter Jesus and learn to live sensitive to the Holy Spirit. We pursue His presence not only for moments of encounter, but so that we may carry His presence into every place we are sent.
-
We are a people of prayer. We believe prayer changes us, changes situations, and opens the way for the purposes of God. Through prayer, we learn to hear His voice, depend on His strength, and partner with what He is doing in our church, city, and world.
-
We are committed to making disciples and raising leaders. We believe discipleship forms Christlike character, strengthens biblical conviction, and equips people to serve with humility and power. We are called not simply to receive from the Kingdom, but to be equipped, empowered, and sent for its work.
-
We are contributors, not consumers. We believe generosity reflects the heart of God and positions us to build what He is building. We give our time, gifts, resources, and lives so that others can encounter Jesus and the mission of God can move forward.
-
We live with bold faith. We believe God is able to do more than we can ask, imagine, or accomplish in our own strength. We expect God to work in us and through us as we take courageous steps of obedience into the assignments He places before us.
-
We are a worshiping people. We value worship that is genuine, expressive, Spirit-led, and centered on Jesus. Through worship, we declare the worth of Christ, respond to His presence, and are strengthened to carry His heart into the world.
ROOTED IN THE LOCAL CHURCH
Formation happens in community.
LifeSong School of Ministry is a ministry of LifeSong Church in Stockton, California. Students worship, study, pray, serve, and grow alongside pastors, leaders, and one another.
We believe the church is more than a setting for ministry training. It is the community in which calling, character, and service are tested and strengthened. Classroom learning is joined to practical ministry so that truth becomes a faithful way of life.
