The second year further builds on this base to give you confidence to minister in any environment, providing you with a more in-depth knowledge of the Bible and practical leadership skills to equip others for ministry and lead in the outdoors. Throughout the degree you will spend equal time based at Frontier Lodge in the Canadian Rockies and at Prairie?s campus in Three Hills, Alberta.
