Who is this for:

ALT is designed for the large group of people who are somewhere between Sunday School and Seminary in their leadership journey.

They may sense a call to ministry. They may already be serving faithfully in their church. They may be a young leader who needs development, or an emerging leader who simply needs someone to recognize their potential and help them take their next step.

ALT creates a practical pathway for those people.

Components

We believe a strong foundation in God’s Word is essential for every Christian leader. We engage in dynamic, Spirit-filled teaching, designed to expand our knowledge and experience of Scripture and its relevance to everyday life. We explore key theological themes, wrestle with real questions, and train students to think critically and biblically about culture and calling. Our goal is not just to fill minds with information, but to ignite hearts with revelation. Students leave with a love for God’s Word, a solid theological framework, and the confidence to teach and live out the truth with clarity and conviction.
Ministry goes far beyond theory—it’s a lived experience. Our students are regularly immersed in environments where they can encounter the transformative presence of God and grow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We gather for times of ministry in a space for students to listen to God’s voice, respond to His leading, and actively minister to others.
We are committed to forming students who have their inner lives rooted in God’s presence and who lead from a place of deep connection with Him. Students are led in rhythms of prayer, worship, reflection, and spiritual disciplines that ground them in God’s love and truth. Spiritual formation is not just a subject—it’s a lifestyle. Through both personal and communal practices, students learn to cultivate a life of intimacy with Jesus, grow in emotional and spiritual maturity, and develop a resilient faith.
We draw out the God-given leadership potential in every student by equipping them with both spiritual depth and practical skills. We foster a culture of high invitation and high challenge—where encouragement, accountability, and calling go hand in hand. Our goal is to raise up leaders who are Christ-centered, courageous, and capable of making an impact in every area of life and ministry.
We intentionally create space for students to build deep, authentic relationships with one another as they journey through life and faith together. This includes shared meals and intentional conversations, community evenings, mission trips, and ministry trips. We believe in doing life together—celebrating, serving, and taking faith risks in a safe, Spirit-led environment. Students are encouraged to use their unique gifts to build one another up, creating a culture of unity, joy, and mutual empowerment.

ALT is designed to:

Develop leaders, not just students.
Students don't simply learn about ministry. They practice it, reflect on it, and receive coaching from leaders who are already serving.

Strengthen the local church.
Every student is connected to a local church and spends time serving there. The goal is for churches to finish the semester with more capable, confident, and spiritually mature servant leaders.

Raise up Northern leaders.
ALT invests in people who understand the unique opportunities and challenges of ministry in Northern communities and who have a heart to see the North flourish.

Create a pathway toward ministry.
For those sensing a vocational call, ALT provides an opportunity to explore that calling, develop foundational skills, and connect with experienced ministry leaders.

Build relationships across the North.
Students will learn together, serve locally, connect with pastors and ministry leaders, and intentionally build relationships with leaders from communities across the NWT.

Learn by doing.
The classroom matters, but ministry cannot be learned entirely in a classroom. ALT intentionally combines biblical learning with practical ministry experience.

ALT is a place to discover your calling, develop your character, sharpen your ministry skills, and find your place in what God is doing in the North.
