Southwestern is a skilled provider of distance educations, offering its programs at a distance since 1983.  River City Church is happy to have created a space once again for people to prepare for life and ministry, as it did for a number of years through another program called “Master’s Commission”.

Lead Pastor Robby Bradford has this to say about this new program, “I’m so excited that we’re going to have a role in extending the excellent academic resources of Southwestern Assemblies of God University and to give students immersion in our ministry and church culture here in Lafayette, Indiana!  If you are considering any kind of future in the ministry, whether as a minister, missionary or active layperson, this is an exceptional value right here in Indiana that you should consider.”

Value is the right word.  The total cost of attending Southwestern for four years is more than $100,000, while taking in Southwestern’s degrees at River City Leadership College will cost less than half that amount.

So, if you are interested in learning more about this possibility to pursue a degree from Southwestern Assemblies of God University right here in Indiana, at a fraction of the cost of attending a university, please contact us through email by clicking here or call during business hours at River City Church and ask for Pastor Adam Howard or Pastor Terry Gilbert at (765) 474-1432.
