What We Do

Walk with God. Lead with a servant's heart. Thrive through cooperation. Practice a growth mindset. Live boldly and confidently.

Divine Savior was founded on the values of growth, cooperation, and service.

These values guide our decisions and motivate our actions as we seek to

spread the good news as a ministry.

Walk With God

Divine Savior Ministries walks with God by keeping Christ at the center of all we do. His love is what motivates us to work to share the saving message of the Gospel with those around us.

Our motto is "work hard, stay humble, and give God all the glory." This spirit of service is motivated by our love for our Savior and seeks to serve everyone we meet.

Lead With a Servant's Heart

We pray that all people keep Jesus as the center of their life and are active in their communities by sharing Christ’s love in the ways they speak, live, and work with others.

This “walk with God” is lived out across our academy and church ministries in the following ways:

Daily discipleship and spiritual growth: Students and staff are encouraged to follow Jesus in their personal lives—through prayer, Bible study, and reflection—making faith a daily practice, not just a Sunday ritual.
Christ-centered education: At Divine Savior Academy, faith is integrated into academics. Teachers model Christian values and help students connect learning with biblical truth.
Active worship and church life: Divine Savior Church offers regular worship services, small groups, and Bible studies that invite members to grow in faith and build relationships rooted in Christ.
Faith in action through service: Events like the Day of Service show how walking with God includes serving others. Volunteers pack meals, clean parks, and help neighbors—living out Jesus’ love
Encouraging spiritual conversations: Church members grow in God’s Word together. This happens during weekly worship services, Bible studies, connect groups, marriage retreats, DS Youth, and a variety of other programs. All of these opportunities allow our church community to connect with one another and to grow in their faith and knowledge of Christ.
Creating a supportive Christian community: Whether in classrooms, therapy sessions, or church gatherings, Divine Savior Ministries cultivates environments where people feel welcomed to share, grow, and walk together in faith.

Work Hard, Stay Humble, Give all Glory to God
From the beginning, Divine Savior has worked hard to support not only our campus, but to support other ministries as well. Because God has blessed us with resources, we believe it is our responsibility to serve fellow ministries.

We work hard in gratitude to be good stewards of our time, our treasures, and our talents. Ultimately, our motivation is not earthly glory or gain, but the love of Christ who set us free from our sins to serve him.

We strive to serve one another in humility, no matter what our role is within our ministry. Calling upon the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men."

In the end, we give all glory to God for the privilege to serve the souls connected to our ministries. All good things come from Him. We pray for his continued blessings on our ministry.

Thrive Through Cooperation

We seek to cooperate: school and church, church with church, academy with academy. We work with each other to share resources and build each other up in the Lord.

Academy with Church
Divine Savior seeks to foster a spirit of cooperation between the churches and schools to work together to best serve the families of our ministries with the gospel message of Jesus as Savior. We are united in this mission, and so believe that our efforts to share the gospel are best done as a team: pastors and principals, teachers and lay leaders, academy families and congregational members.

Our academies bring families into our ministry from our surrounding community with excellence in education and a Christian environment. Once here, our teachers, administrators, and pastors have the privilege of ministering to these families. Together, we build bridges from the academy to the church to serve this on-site mission field of students and their families. A strong bond between the school and church is essential to harvesting this mission field.

Academy with Academy
Our academies cooperate together to serve the needs of students and their families. In a tuition-based model, we understand that we must meet the high expectations of parents who are sacrificing to pay for a private education. This includes rigorous curriculums, cutting-edge technology, excellent facilities, and professional systems and processes. Divine Savior Academy has worked diligently to meet these expectations.

As a school, we have learned how difficult it is to provide excellence in all we do. We have devoted years to developing our curriculum, processes, policies, educational technology, marketing, and business plans. Along the way, we realized that what we have learned can be shared and that economies of scale can be reached when we partner together in a multi-site model.

In addition, we know that in order to attract new families to our school, we must earn their trust. Having multiple campuses and being part of a well-known network help earn that trust with our communities.

Church with Church
Divine Savior is also a network of churches that work together to support one another in our efforts to serve the mission field of our schools and our communities. We share a name, logo, brand, and philosophy of ministry as we seek to share the gospel together. Our pastors meet to collaborate on ideas to best accomplish this on our campuses. We also support each other in our individual congregations with the knowledge that ministry will look, feel, and sound a little bit different on all of our campuses, depending on the needs of our communities. We rejoice in our diversity and support each other in our shared mission.

Divine Savior seeks to “go out into the world and preach the good news through the pursuit of new missions and the strategic support of established ministries.

Practice a Growth Mindset

We help ministries find ways to reach more people with God's Word.
Sometimes that means finding a way to support their ministry through a grant. Other times it's helping them tell others about their ministry through a rebranding. Whether it is a business plan or a marketing plan, the goal is always the same: to do more ministry.

A ministry that has a strong foundation financially can focus on sharing God's Word instead of balancing the budget. A strong foundation also ensures that a ministry is sustainable, that it can continue to share the gospel for years and years to come. We help churches and schools build a solid foundation by working with them to build a business plan. Using good stewardship principles, we make the most of the gifts and opportunities that God has blessed them with.

Marketing is simply telling people who you are and how you can help them. We use ministry-focused marketing to aid churches and schools in getting the word out about how they can serve their communities with the gospel and with Christian education. We create outreach-minded brands and use inbound marketing to reach people where they are.

We start new ministries.
The Lord continues to provide us with opportunities to partner together to start new missions or to support missions that are just beginning. Whether it becomes part of the Divine Savior family or remains an independent ministry, we love supporting the growth of new churches and schools.

Live Boldly and Confidently

We are fueled by the power of the Gospel and Christ’s love to be true change makers, knowing that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

Trusting God's plan and embracing challenges with faith-driven courage.

Divine Savior Ministries supports the growth of campuses across multiple cities and countries, reflecting bold faith in God's guidance.

Students at Divine Savior Academy are empowered to try new things and are encouraged to take academic and personal risks, supported by a Christian environment that nurtures resilience and a growth mindset.

Divine Savior Church emphasizes the power of God’s Word and His promises that allow us to be bold missionaries to those we serve. The church ministries across all of our campuses encourage members to live with spiritual boldness and confidence that Christ is by our side every step of the way.

We know that Christ came to save all people, this is one of the reasons we embarked on the challenge of starting a school for students with special needs in Doral at Divine Savior School. This ministry boldly serves students with exceptional needs, offering interdisciplinary programs that reflect confidence in every child’s potential.

Staff, students, and congregational members are taught to lead by serving others, which requires courage to step into various roles of influence and responsibility. Additionally, we let our light shine in various ways throughout our communities. We do these things because we know they are important and have a lasting impact on those around us.

A deep trust in God’s plan.

We know that our plans are not always His plans. We also know that God’s plans are better than anything we could ever ask or imagine. For these reasons, we have a deep trust in God’s plan and a willingness to step into the unknown with faith, courage, and purpose.

more ministry together

We have partnered together as a multi-site ministry because we believe we can do more together: reach more people, provide more services, and grow more campuses. This is all in service to our mission to share the Gospel message with the world through churches and schools.
