What is The Keystone Project Training?
It is a vision of God’s unimaginable, indescribable, incomprehensible majesty, glory, and power packaged in the one thing over which Satan has no power – the surrendered, laugh-in-the-face-of-death, cross-carrying, kingdom-establishing, radically transforming life of a Spirit-empowered follower of Jesus Christ! This vision contains the DNA – the very genetic code – of the Christian life. Properly implanted, this genetic code will expand and multiply beyond all natural or spiritual obstacles and reach an entire generation. It has and can and will change all those who receive it (Col 1:6)!

Watch Richard Greene, President of The Keystone Project, give a compelling message of why you should enroll in our Online Academy.
Our Distance Learning Program
Our 3-month distance-learning program is made up of 27 powerful sessions. This training program will equip you with the essentials to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit. In addition to that, you will also get coaching support and a Certificate of Completion equivalent to our in-person two-week training in Keystone, SD.
We ask enrolled students to commit to completing 2-3 lessons a week but the expectation can be adjusted as per the student's availability. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Certificate of Completion, and at least one additional one-on-one session with a Keystone Project coach, the student will receive the credentials that will satisfy one important requirement to become a Mission Partner.
What is the Keystone Project Online Academy?
Thank you for your interest in the Keystone Project Online Academy! Before you continue, please read this brief description of our training:
The Keystone Project is a global network of churches and leaders who are committed to the fulfillment of the Great Commission in this generation. We train leaders and other students to launch movements of disciples making disciples by the power of the Holy Spirit, especially among unreached people groups. Our training focuses outside the confines of church buildings and programs seeking to reach the lost through Spirit-led, missionary discipleship. We do not endorse the “prosperity gospel” or personal advancement through ministry; rather, we embrace the path of the cross and the disciple’s call to sacrifice and self-denial.
As we train and coach our students, we are looking for Christians who want to be missionaries and leaders who want to equip their followers to be missionaries; we are looking for students who are willing to reach outside the comfort and security of their churches and lay down their lives for the unreached.
Financial Investment
Each student will have a financial investment of $89.00 USD that will grant access to our Academy for one year. You also have the option of enrolling for $7.00 USD per month which offers a slight savings. This fee helps us cover administrative expenses and maintain the online platform. Once you finish the courses, you will receive a digital copy of The Keystone Project Visionary and Discipleship Manual. Our coaches are volunteers of The Keystone Project, and commit their time and effort to serving our students because of their love for Jesus and His mission.

OUR TRAINING PROGRAM COVERS THE FOLLOWING BIBLICAL TOPICS
Finishing the Great Commission
The Great Commission is the chief means by which God has chosen to reveal His glory at this moment in history. Students will learn what it means and what it will take for the Church to “Finish the Great Commission”. Module one is a set of foundational devotionals and equipping sessions that will challenge the purity of his/her faith. It will provide the tools to start formulating a vision, mission and core values that will align his/her ministry to the priorities of the Great Commission.
Movements of Multiplying Disciples
In the book of Acts, growth was not measured through revival meetings neither were souls tallied on decision cards. The growth of the Church became so explosive that secular historians through centuries have described the rapid multiplication of Christianity as a movement of the first and second century. In this module, students will learn how to launch movements of multiplying disciples. They will receive the inspiration and the tools to glorify God by producing abundant, lasting fruit.
The Kingdom of God and the Church
Developing a Great Commission mindset will require a major reformation in the way we think about and “do” church. For too long the church has been publicly identified by its outward forms rather than its spiritual reality in Christ. Church attendance statistics indicate that if we do not re-discover the spiritual, organic and transformational nature of the church in this generation, we will become even more marginalized than we are and less effective in reaching the next generation.
The Spirit-Filled Life
Immediately after giving them the Great Commission, Jesus commanded His disciples not to leave Jerusalem (notice that He expected them to leave, to actually go on the mission He had just given them), but to wait for what the Father promised, “which,” He said, “...for John baptized you with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now” (Acts 1:4-5). He told them that they were not to go until they had received the Holy Spirit. This module will facilitate the understanding of the essential role of the Holy Spirit in God's mission.
