About
The School of Kingdom Citizenship is designed to educate citizens on biblical truths essential for building and sustaining societies rooted in transcendent values, principle-based tenets, and strategic public policies. The GoCitizen curriculum delves into themes such as jurisdictional authority and responsibility, pillars of worldview, the Twelve Master Principles, and cultural transformation. Students will be equipped to advance truth, justice, sustainability, and the discipling of nations from a Kingdom perspective.
Our comprehensive 18-month program features real-time group interaction and dedicated support from trained facilitators. Registration is open year-round with new groups forming semi-annually. Our online format offers the convenience of enrollment from any location and is tailored to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals.
Structure
When students enroll, they are assigned to a curated group based on factors such as time zone and demographics. These small group cohorts convene every other week via video conferencing such as Zoom (or in person when feasible) to discuss, process, and apply the lessons under the guidance of a vetted and trained facilitator. Meeting schedules are either set in advance or determined by the facilitator at course onset with consideration to participants’ schedules and availability. Students complete the course work online, with a two-week timeframe allotted for each lesson. The estimated time commitment of study per lesson is approximately 2-3 hours, which typically encompasses listening to the teaching, completing a reading assignment, and submitting homework.
Relational Grounding
We are committed to fostering community under the firm believe that God builds relationally by joining together the hearts of individuals. Our mentor-based model is critical to the success of the course. Our desire to see students work with a facilitator in the context of a group is based in our conviction that genuine transformation in a person’s life takes place in the context of spiritual relationships with others. The role of the facilitator is to encourage and challenge their students as they work through the materials. Facilitators are graduates of the school, have completed additional facilitator training, and remain under the oversight of our Directors of Facilitation.
The Event
We believe God builds relationally, and that human interaction plays a vital role in building community and imparting God’s truth into our lives. For this reason, all students must attend a qualifying GoStrategic event as a prerequisite for graduation. These events are held in numerous countries around the world, as well as virtually, ensuring accessibility for all. Visit the GoStrategic Events Page for qualifying events, including those hosted by partner organizations.
College Credit
Upon successful completion of our schools, graduates can take advantage of our Advanced Standing Partnerships in which units of credit are awarded for your education with GoStrategic toward degrees and certifications with other colleges, universities, and institutions of higher education. Visit our Advanced Standing Partnerships Page for details.
Curriculum Overview
Course Requirements: GoCitizen also includes an Entry Exam, consisting of true/false and multiple-choice questions, designed to assess students’ overall knowledge at the beginning of the course. Each audio/video lesson is followed by online homework to help the student process the teaching and a reading assignment from various authors and sources with relevancy to the current teaching. At the end of the course, each student must choose a final project: a reflective essay, service project, or case study. This assignment is designed to stimulate creative thinking, demonstrate an understanding of how the biblical principles in the curriculum are applied in real-world contexts, and showcase measurable results. To graduate, students must have a passing grade, meet attendance minimums, and have attended a qualifying GoStrategic event.
