Let’s Connect!

Brave College is where faith is formed, not just taught.
Rooted in our mission to Help People Find and Follow Jesus, Brave College exists to intentionally shape students in faith, leadership, and hands-on ministry - so what they believe actually shows up in how they live.
We believe calling isn’t discovered in isolation, it’s formed through proximity, practice, and people who know your name. That’s why Brave College is built around real mentorship, real responsibility, and real ministry - walking closely with students as they grow in character, conviction, and confidence.
More than a program, Brave College is a way of life. It’s a community that strengthens faith, sharpens discernment, and prepares students to follow Jesus faithfully in the church, business, and wherever God leads them next.
