Select graduates may also be invited to complete a Third-Year Leadership Residency. See “What is the Third-Year Leadership Residency?” below.

The Third-Year Leadership Residency provides select students with advanced, hands-on ministry training under the direct oversight of Revival Today Ministries leadership. It equips students to function effectively in full-time ministry through practical service, leadership development, and close mentorship.

The internship is by invitation only — students cannot apply. To be considered, students must:

• Successfully complete the first two years of RTBI with excellence in academics, attendance, and conduct
• Demonstrate a lifestyle consistent with the standards of Revival Today Ministries, both on and off campus
• Be in good financial standing with RTBI

Courses are taught by Revival Today pastoral staff and RTBI instructors, giving students practical, ministry-focused training from experienced leaders. Each semester, Pastor Jonathan also hosts special student seminars where he personally teaches and pours into the student body, providing additional ministry insight, leadership development, and practical instruction beyond the classroom.

Revival Today Bible Institute and Revival Today School of Worship is an accredited member with Transworld Accrediting Commission International (TACI).

RTBI is not accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and credits earned at RTBI may not transfer to other colleges or universities.
