TRAINING
Equipping kingdom workers.
Sending them out.
Two training arms, one mission: the Petra School of Ministry trains leaders through the local church, and Petra Wilderness forms disciples in the backcountry. Both prepare men and women to plant and serve Christ-centered churches.
Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. — Colossians 1:28

TWO TRAINING ARMS
Classroom and backcountry. Character and competency.
PWI
Petra Wilderness International
Backcountry expeditions where the Gospel is preached and Christ-centered discipleship takes root, preparing students for future local and global ministry.
PETRA SCHOOL OF MINISTRY · PLANTAR
Training that flows through the local church.
The Petra School of Ministry flows through each of the churches across all of our locations to provide Bible, theological, and ministerial classes and resources. God is training many leaders through Plantar and sending them out for the planting of new works.
Much of the ministry training in the U.S. takes place outside the local church and is often knowledge-based. We believe the main training, equipping, and sending should flow through the local church and be practical, obedience-based, and biblically contextualized (Ephesians 4:11–13).
CLASSES
32 bilingual courses, online platform in development
TRAINS
Pastors, elders, deacons, evangelists, missionaries, worship and lay leaders
WHERE
Every Petra church, U.S. and Latin America
