Along with regionally accredited education through Southeastern University and a comprehensive internship with Mission Church, Mission Leadership Institute (MLI) provides several life-changing experiences for students to grow in their relationships with God and others and discover their unique calling.
EXPERIENCE
Students will go on a retreat away from Walnut Creek designed to unplug and spend uninterrupted time with the Lord and our team. This unique experience will help them prepare, reset, and recalibrate their hearts and minds for the incredible plans the Lord has in store!
Beyond the retreat, students will also attend a ministry conference, gaining firsthand insight into how God is moving powerfully through the capital 'C' Church
retreat & conferences
Students will participate in one international Missions Trip. The trip will be led by Mission Church staff and in partnership with a trusted missions-oriented organization. This trip will occur in the springtime.

Students will be paired with a family at Mission church to facilitate community and a sense of home at Mission church. Each month you will have at least one family dinner with your “adpoted” family, called “family days”.

MLI believes that following Jesus is wholistic: “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). Students receive a gym membership while attending MLI. No matter where a student is in regards to fitness and nutrition, students are simply asked to take the next step toward health.

Because MLI is centrally located in Walnut Creek, students are able to experience the Bay Area and all of its wonders. Downtown Walnut Creek is a “miniature Beverly Hills” – brimming with stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and theaters.
San Francisco is only a 45-minute drive away, and the list of fun things to do is virtually endless (Golden Gate, Pier 39, Union Square, etc.)! For a beach experience, Santa Cruz is only an hour and a half away. Beautiful Lake Tahoe and Half Dome are within driving distance, as well.
If students are sports fans, the legendary Golden State Warriors play thirty minutes from Walnut Creek, not to mention all of the other Bay Area teams. Needless to say, the opportunities for fun, community, and entertainment are almost limitless in the Bay Area.
