Preach the Word //

Change the World.

We believe the world needs God's Word

And for almost sixty years, we have been training men to "preach the Word" (2 Timothy 4:2).

400+

Faculty years of experience in local work

1150+

Alumni (with an active Alumni Association)

Two-year Program

The main area of our focus. We invite men of all ages to spend two life-changing years of study, fellowship, servitude, and growth.

M.O.S.T. Program

The MOST program allows you to continue your education without attending the two-year program at MSOP. It does not provide the full experience (or certification), but it can give you a taste of MSOP from anywhere in the world.

Graduate Program

Formerly called the “World Missions Program,” MSOP now proudly offers an opportunity to continue your education in the graduate program. Select from four areas of study (World Missions, Apologetics, Leadership, or Broadcasting & Communications) and come for a year of learning! Anyone with a two-year degree or the equivalent may apply.

Lectureship

Every year (beginning the final Sunday in March), a specific theme is covered with 50+ lessons. Hundreds of alumni and new faces come together to study, worship, and praise the Almighty.

Wives Classes

We are proud to provide specialized classes for our married students. Their wives have the privilege to sit down each and learn from our instructors and special classes taught by ladies who have “been there and done that” to help prepare your marital team for ministry.

Foundations

Every year, 150+ teens come together for a week packed with deep study, endless fellowship, and serious fun.

Scattered Abroad Network

Hosted by members of the MSOP Alumni Association, the Scattered Abroad Network provides daily content with over twenty-three shows. The shows can be found on all major podcast platforms.

Radio Ministry

We are proud to associate with The Gospel Radio Network. Tune in every Tuesday morning @ 8:30 AM CST for our Students of the Word program.

Yokefellow Newsletter

Every two months, the Yokefellow gets sent out to nearly 7,000 of our “fellowlabourers” (Philippians 4:3) to encourage them to keep on keeping on.

Special Seminars

Twice each year, MSOP hosts a guest speaker (or multiple speakers) to come and lecture in their respective fields.

We are all about truth in love

Jesus changed the world through a perfect combination of grace and truth, and we want to do the same. Our students join a compassionate faculty, a staff that will bend backward to ensure success for those hard-working students, and a student body that wants to be together. All while having the privilege of getting to know the Forest Hill congregation more closely.
