Overview:

The School of Activation's mission is to equip and deploy leaders into society and ministries who are called to change culture with the culture of the Kingdom of God, trained here in Los Angeles, one of the culture capitals of the world.

What does revival look like? What does an outpouring of God's Kingdom look like? The culture of Heaven established on Earth- A culture that carries the expression of Love, Creativity and Justice, in every area of life. A people of God bound by a relational culture of love and honor, empowered by the Holy Spirit and equipped and trained in the establishment of Kingdom values in every sphere of life, every mountaintop, every arena. Active co-creators with God and firmly founded on his heart of Justice.

How do we fulfill our God given mandate to bring justice to orphans, widows and entire societies?

What does co-creating with God look like in the Arts and Entertainment?

What is the fullness of God and what are the greater works of Jesus that we are called to?

These are only a few of the many themes of the Expression58 School of Activation, where revival and transformation of society is our goal. Come join a school that is running after supernatural ministry, social justice, creative arts, and practical leadership development that will give you a new foundation for your entire life.

We believe in a model of hands on training where your classroom involves dynamic instruction, paired with hands on activation for each subject. You will learn by your own involvement as well as being coached from our staff, providing an incredibly safe environment for you to develop. At the Activation Center we believe there is a global harvest in every area of society happening right now and we want to equip you to fulfill your destiny in this harvest field.
