Preach the Word,

Change the World.

ICYMI: the lectures are happening as we speak.

And you can watch them for free.

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).

Two-year Program

The main area of our focus. We invite men aged 18-80 to spend two life-changing years of study, fellowship, service, and growth.

M.O.S.T. Program

While it is not part of the two-year program, MOST is designed for those who cannot attend MSOP and want to continue their education. It will not be the same diploma as the two-year program upon completion.

Graduate Program

Formerly called the “World Missions Program,” MSOP now proudly offers an opportunity to continue your education in the graduate program. The areas of study are World Missions, Apologetics, Leadership, and Broadcasting. One may select from one or more (up to all four) of these programs. Anyone with a two-year degree or the equivalent may apply.

Lectureship

Every year (Starting on the last Sunday in March and going to the following Thursday) where a specific theme is covered with over 50+ lessons! So many alumni and new faces come together to study, worship, and praise the Almighty!

Wives Classes

We are proud to offer specialized classes for our married students. Their wives have the privilege of sitting down (Mondays 6:30-9:00) to learn from some of our instructors and from special classes taught by other minister wives who have “been there and done that,” to provide a better understanding of what ministry will be like for the couple when they leave.

Foundations

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

Scattered Abroad Network

A work of MSOP & hosted by members of the MSOP Alumni Association, the Scattered Abroad Network provides daily content with over twenty-three shows. The shows are available on all major podcast platforms.

Gathered Together Conference

As part of MSOP, the Scattered Abroad Network launches the Gathered Together Conference in 2026.

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.

416 Ministries

416 Ministries exists to support preachers and strengthen congregations, traveling across the United States to edify the church. It serves as a pipeline of encouragement and resources—filling pulpits, leading meetings and seminars, and encouraging congregations.

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.
