Training a new breed of revivalist. ROC School of Ministry equips men and women with the Word of God, the anointing, and hands-on ministry experience, every Wednesday night in Sorrento.
ROC School of Ministry is a Holy Ghost training center for men and women who want to know Christ and make Him known. You will be saturated in the Word and the Spirit of God, and empowered to reach your high calling.
Many schools only give head knowledge. In this hour, the Church needs believers who are full of the Word and full of the anointing of God. When you finish ROC SM, you do not just leave with information. You carry the ministry, the Word, and the power of God inside you, ready to take it anywhere in the world.
ROC SM is for anyone who wants to go deeper. It is not only for future pastors. It is for new believers and seasoned Christians who want to learn the Bible and apply it to everyday life.
“For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”Ephesians 4:12
Sound doctrine taught by seasoned teachers of the Word, with exams, reading, and assignments in every course.
Every class night starts in worship. We believe impartation happens in the presence of God, not just in a classroom.
Serve in the Ministry of Helps at River Orlando Church, go on evangelism outreaches, and receive personal discipleship.
The school year is built in four waves. Each wave has a few in-person courses on Wednesday nights plus one video course. You sign up one wave at a time, so you can jump in at the start of any wave.
Video courses are done on your own time through our online student portal. Students also attend Sunday service at River Orlando Church as part of their training.
