The Underground Institute is an eight-week training platform designed to give missionaries seminary level education within a missional framework. Throughout the entire catalog we offer a variety of classes that all represent the manifesto in some way, and each summer semester is a sampling of this class list. These classes are organized to inspire, inform, equip and empower missionaries, both locally and globally, to better do ministry in their current context. The Institute runs like a typical collegiate-level class might, incorporating homework, quizzes, tests, papers, assignments, and projects.

We're excited to offer several features in the Institute this summer. Here is a quick glance at them:

Take a look at the classes

This summer, we're offering 6 different classes. All classes will be taught from/to a missionary perspective and within a small (micro) church context.  Below are cards that give you basic information at a glance, and then more information (like a description and a syllabus) when you click on them
 

All of our classes are hosted in Tampa, but we offer some of them via live stream. If you're in a city outside of Tampa but are still interested in attending a course with your community, you can toggle the switch below to see which courses are available to translocal communities. If you're interested in hosting a satellite class for your city, email us at anthony@tampaunderground.com.

In order for a class to take place, it needs to reach the teacher designated student enrollment minimum. The amount of registrations required for each class is displayed on their respective cards.

Get to know the semester options

The summer can be a difficult time to reserve 8 fulls weeks to take classes. So, this summer we'll be offering our 5 classes in different semesters to hopefully better fit your summer rhythm. There will be 3 semesters each with their own unique time frames throughout the summer.

Here are the classes we're offering by semester:
