Children At Risk School

The purpose of the Children At Risk School (CAR) is to train missionaries to initiate, maintain and serve ministry projects that work with children at risk, their families, and communities.

The school covers a broad variety of topics, such as God’s heart for children, compassion, child development, child evangelism, community development, project planning, human trafficking, and cyberbullying.

By the end of the course, students complete a detailed ministry project plan, to help them further their ministry goals in a practical way.

Is Your Heart Burning for a Generation of Lost Youth?

At the three-month school at our Richmond campus you will enjoy lectures from Child At Risk Workers from around the globe who have given their lives to work with street children, gang-ridden slums abroad and high crime communities. You will enjoy local outreaches, worship, intercession and life in an exciting community of missionaries dedicated to invest in God’s purposes for your life.

By the end of the course, you will be armed with the understanding of how to tackle the challenging and meaningful work of serving children at risk in a wide variety of settings in the U.S. or abroad. You’ll also have developed a personally designed ministry project plan, to assist in reaching your ministry goals in a practical way.
