Mission
You were created for big things. We're here to help you get there.
The world is waiting for you to become what God always intended. Jesus didn’t come to play it safe—He came to change everything. He turned the religious world upside down, raised up a group of ordinary people, and launched a movement that’s still spreading across the earth today.
Those first followers—His disciples—spent just a few years with Him, but those years shaped them forever. Through teaching, serving, traveling, and walking closely together, they discovered what they were truly made for. The season was challenging, but the impact was eternal.
That same invitation is open to you today.
God is still building His Church and raising up leaders for every sphere of life. Whether you become a pastor, teacher, lawyer, creative, entrepreneur, or something else entirely—He wants you to lead. Not just with skill, but with spiritual authority and a heart that knows who you are and what you're here to build.
At San Diego Christian Leadership College, we’ll help you discover your part in God’s plan through four life-shaping experiences:
A Christ-centered education where you’ll build a biblical worldview and even earn a degree.
Global missions where you’ll travel, share the Gospel, and make a real impact around the world.
Community outreach where you’ll serve in schools and across the city—bringing hope to the next generation.
Deep-spirited friendships formed through shared calling, purpose, and life-changing moments.
You were made to lead. Let’s start building together.
“I have some big plans for you.”
JEREMIAH | 29:11 (PARAPHRASED)
Goals
You can’t spell goals without “GO.” At the end of our program, we want to see you go into the world (Matthew 28:18) with the confidence, experience, training and capacity to make a big difference. With a foundation in Jesus and the Word, you will get to your destination with the preparation needed to keep you there.
01. LEARN
–
Build a Biblical foundation for life and leadership.
At SDCLC, you’ll receive a Christ-centered education designed to shape your worldview and deepen your understanding of Scripture. You’ll take classes like Basic Doctrine, Life Management, and Biblical Leadership—courses that equip you to live out your calling with confidence and clarity. Whether you're pursuing ministry or another field, you’ll also have the opportunity to earn an accredited degree that opens doors wherever God leads you. It's more than just education—it’s formation.
02. MISSIONS
–
Travel the world. Reach people. Be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Jesus said, “Go into all the world”—and we take that literally. Every student participates in missions, from local outreaches to international trips. You’ll serve in communities like the Mexico dump villages, minister in our partner churches in Mexico, and have opportunities to join mission teams headed to Brazil, Europe, and beyond. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone, discovering your giftings, and being part of something eternal.
03. OUTREACH
–
Make an impact in your own backyard.
You don’t have to wait to make a difference. Each week, SDCLC students serve in public schools across San Diego, leading faith-based clubs, mentoring students, and sharing the hope of Jesus. This past year, over 600 students gave their lives to Christ through these efforts. You'll also get to feed the homeless, help run city-outreach events, and learn how to share your faith wherever you go. Outreach isn’t an activity—it’s a lifestyle.
04.BELONG
–
Find your people. Build friendships that last a lifetime.
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. In our community, you’ll build deep-spirited friendships with people who are running after the same vision—to become everything God made them to be. You’ll laugh, cry, grow, and pray together. These aren’t just classmates—they’re brothers and sisters who will be part of your life for the lifetime of purpose to come. This is family.
