We believe the best environment for training is the home field where students are in relationship with their pastors, other believers and their community. This training not only brings growth to the students but it strengthens their church and enables it to expand its ministries and to plant new churches.

While VLI draws on the talents of many well-known scholars and provides intense instruction in the scriptures, it is not a seminary, and it is not accredited. Students who complete the full two-year program and fulfill its requirements receive a VLI diploma.
