Vive Church opens Vive University (U) in Palo Alto, CA to produce and empower leaders to become effective in ministry.

Partnership with Southern University

VIVE Church supports the academic endeavors of its members through the VIVE University ministry. Through a partnership with VIVE Church, Southeastern University is able to provide students with educational opportunities that also include practical ministry training.

As per the website, the mission of VIVE U is to provide students with a toolset that will enable them to be effective in ministry throughout their entire lives. 

The university has the conviction that a rise in its efficacy will increase its impact, and that an expansion of its influence will bring the kingdom of God closer to more people.

It also stated that training and equipping kingdom ambassadors in all walks of life is the goal of VIVE U's work. 

The institution is dedicated to developing kingdom ambassadors in every walk of life, and it does so by partnering with churches, universities, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to do just that.

As per the website, students at VIVE University will have a connection to their future in Christ through the creation of tools for ministry in both the classroom and through practical experience.

Through the practicum at VIVE Church, students at VIVE University will have the opportunity to put what they are learning in the classroom into practice in the real world.

They will refine their abilities while getting an inside look at how world-class teams perform ministry when they have the option of working for VIVE's worship, production, creative, communications, ministries, and events departments.

About VIVE Church

VIVE Church maintains the conviction that the church is the only thing that can save the world. They believe that the church is the community of believers, both gathered together and dispersed throughout the world.

It also stated that when members of the church work together to spread the gospel, the church will accomplish its mission of bringing the good news to everyone and bringing glory to God.

According to the church’s website, VIVE Church was founded by Pastors Adam and Keira Smallcombe, who emigrated from Australia in response to a call from God to plant a church in Silicon Valley. 

As a result of their step of faith, VIVE Church was established, and it has since expanded to 10 locations across the world in a span of just nine years.

Brotherhood, VIVE Girl

The men's ministry of VIVE Church is known as VIVE Brotherhood, and it operates on a global scale. They meet in person locally at each of their campuses to train, equip, and empower one another through morning prayer, golf nights, barbecue hangs, and other activities. 

They get together as a global brotherhood every year for the Brotherhood Advance.

Meanwhile, VIVE Girl is the women's ministry of VIVE Church. Its mission is to cultivate a sisterhood of women all over the world who love God and each other with an intense passion. 

They are guided in their work by Keira Smallcombe, who serves as the Lead Pastor of VIVE Church.

As stated by the website, VIVE Girl is cultivating women who are strong, self-assured, and resilient, and who love God and one another. As a worldwide sisterhood, they function as a single family and a unified people in every location.
