What is the 5-Fold Academy?

Go Ministries’ 5-Fold Academy is not just your average, every-day Bible school. Rather, the 5 -Fold Academy is a one year program, all about training up effective and equipped ministers of the Gospel. The 5-Fold doesn’t just pump your brain full of knowledge, but gives you a practical, real-life setting to act out what you’re taught in the realm of full-time ministry. We’ll teach you how to preach the Gospel from Genesis to Revelation with the emphasis on your gifts and calling, while equipping you with the knowledge and vision to keep the fire of God burning bright in your heart. You’ll be given plenty of opportunities to step out in the areas you feel called to. Most importantly, you’ll establish a firm foundation of faith in Jesus Christ which you will be able to stand on for the rest of your life!

If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him a meal. If you teach a man to fish, you’ll feed him for a lifetime. We’ll teach you how to fish.

“The 5-Fold Academy not only developed a foundation of the Word of God in me, but taught me how to study it out for myself and then apply it to my life. Throughout my year, I received relevant and exciting teaching from the Word and hands on experience in many different aspects of ministry. The 5-Fold was an amazing training for me to help me to be an effective minister and servant for the Kingdom of God.”

The Purpose and Vision

“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ” - Ephesians 4:11-12

“I learned so much being in the 5-Fold Academy. One thing that stood out the most would be when I learned what it means to have a willing heart. We can do so much more for God when we have a willing heart. Being willing is saying, "Lord, not my will but yours." He wants to use us in so many ways, but are we willing to pay the price to do it? I am so grateful that being in GO Ministries I was able to catch this revelation by being involved in areas of the ministry outside of my gifting and/or comfort zone. Thanks to all my wonderful leaders and Jesus Christ for an amazing year!”
