Simple! To develop disciple makers with sound theological and ministry training. GLO College of Ministries uses a highly intentional, relational and spiritual discipleship training community that is committed to developing intentional disciple makers. 

In this community, students are discipled and inspired to serve the Lord as disciple makers. Learning is then put into practice through ministry experience opportunities, during which students receive feedback and advice. 

Our desire is to see the world challenged and changed by disciples of Jesus through the impacting of their communities with the multiplication of disciples.

Are you ready? We would love to help you on your journey with God in his purposes for you, wherever you go.

Students join trainer led online learning sessions via Zoom from wherever they live. Students undertake nine accredited units in a highly interactive adult training environment, and a range of competency based theoretical and practical tasks are used to assess students.

Students also experience ministry and discipleship training as they interact and serve in their local church and community.

We are Church connected. Without this connection we really don’t have all the ingredients for discipleship. Therefore throughout the year students attend their local church and serve in various ways and participate in their ministries. Students also attend Bible Study groups and gradually become involved in the life of their home church so that they can serve in a ministry and develop their abilities and gifts. 

We want students to experience their local church or faith community in a way that helps them to develop as a disciple of Christ; in their character, their disciple making skills and their ministy skills. With this in mind, the CrossConnect team will establish a relationship with other mature Christians in your church community in order to ensure that you receive feedback and mentoring to serve this goal.

It is our intention at all times to help you develop as a disciple of Christ and as a disciple maker, at any time, no matter where the Lord takes you. It is our prayer and hope that you discover your part in God’s great plan for us all.
