Ambassador Center is an advanced educational institution operated by The Restored Church
of God.
It prepares men and women for greater roles of service within God's Church and Work.
The Center, or “AC,” was founded on December
4th, 2008.
It features a diverse curriculum, focused on teaching students how to live, not merely
how to earn a living.
It recognizes the Bible as the foundation of knowledge.
In addition to classes, AC offers a variety of events that help further the development
of its students.
Since its inception, Ambassador Center graduates have gone on to fill key positions in the
Work of God, including in the field ministry, Headquarters staff, and as pillars in local
congregations.
Much good fruit has been produced during its ten-year history.
An Ambassador Center education rounds you.
All the different pieces, you understand both how to live, the Bible, ecclesiastical, all
of those different aspects smooth out the edges and leave you in a condition that allows
you to be helpful and effective in a local congregation or serving somewhere in the ministry.
Any individual should apply to Ambassador Center who wants to improve themselves, but
more than just improve yourself, what you're doing is you're improving your ability to
help others.
We learn etiquette, learn how to speak and teach others, learn how to have outflowing
concern for others, and that's all throughout the curriculum, that you can learn to care
more about your fellow mankind.
Students will say, this is the best education I've ever received.
I've been out in the world, gone to universities or whatever colleges, but they say this is
the best because many of them are pillars and they are so excited to say, oh, I can
edify more of our brethren in my community or I can serve.
I'm learning how to serve more.
It gives you a well-rounded framework, both of the Bible and biblical principles as well
as the essentially the liberal arts approach.
They see what their fellow brethren, those that have gone before them and graduated,
have done and are putting and applying in their lives, in the congregations that they're
in and these same brethren see this and they say, wow, there's actually something to this
program, and so they want to be a part of it.
They want to take part of it.
On December 4th, 2018, onsite students, alumni and faculty gathered in the Hall of Administration
on the Headquarters Campus to commemorate AC’s tenth anniversary.
Senior Faculty Member Brad Schleifer delivered opening comments and led a toast to the success
of AC, before introducing Chancellor David C. Pack.
Finding a way to build Ambassador College again, we call it Ambassador Center.
That was a big question.
Should we start Ambassador College, Ambassador Center, AC?
What drove the decision is, you know there's a way of life to be preserved.
Small group, big challenge and we have literally found ourself better understanding with each
passing day why it says in Zechariah 4:10 not to despise the day of small things.
Starting Ambassador was a big question, and we did.
And I love you for it.
I thank you for it.
You created, some of you earliest of those 334 people are here.
You created a path that others could follow.
So I will say again, thank you.
Thank you for coming, but thank you for all that you did in carrying out your part.
Afterwards, attendees enjoyed cake, a slideshow, and conversation.
The Anniversary was a valuable opportunity for all to reflect on the education they have
received.
It goes far beyond the books and the tests.
Yes, those things are involved with AC, but knowing that that instructor cares about the
students on a level that the world simply can't match, that would help us to become
even more motivated to accomplish what we needed to accomplish.
These are not just lectures to help you get through life, they’re lectures for your
life.
They directly change and influence the way you live.
I want people to have more faith and excitement about the God who created the universe.
That doesn't matter if it's Creation Science or teaching a class on the government of God.
It's all about the God we are serving.
The one who created the universe around us and the one who's going to give us a reward
that is unbelievable.
If I can get people to think about that, to care about it, and to feel more faith and
excitement, then I've done my job as a faculty member.
