The primary focus of CH. I is to have your identity firmly rooted in the love of God. To learn to hear and obey God's voice. To receive healing and become whole as you embrace trusted friends and the work of the Holy Spirit. To explore new sustainable rhythms of life in community.

A place to become rooted in the love of the Father, grow to maturity in the character of Jesus, and bear fruit by the power of the Holy Spirit.

What We Are Looking For in a Student

There is not a personality type, gifting, or specific calling that we're looking for.

What we are looking for is young men and women that have a desire to be firmly rooted in their identity and equipped to live passionately for the Lord as they enter college, ministry, or the marketplace.

A student of The Greenhouse should have the desire to be a life-long learner and be willing to do the challenging and deeply rewarding work of spiritual formation. They should be able to submit to the leadership of The Greenhouse, and receive guidance and correction in humility. They should be committed to building relationships with fellow classmates in vulnerability. They should desire to pray hard and play hard.

Desiring to flee from the distraction of our age, we ask every student to limit from all forms of media as a fast during their time in The Greenhouse.

Due to immersive commitment of The Greenhouse, it is impractical to work or study. We want you to get everything you can out of this time. The Greenhouse is a curated structure built for the purpose of your growth and transformation. Therefore we expect you to submit fully to all aspects of the program.

I want to encourage you to consider enrolling in The Greenhouse. I've known the leaders of the Greenhouse for decades. I've seen their work. I've seen the discipleship school they ran in Cyprus that sent people out who are established all over the world bearing fruit for God. What is the Greenhouse? It's a place of protection, and a place of nutrition, and a place that creates exactly the right environment for you to grow to your maximum potential in a short period of time. Which will set you up for success and an abundant life wherever you go serving the Lord in whatever your calling is. I just want to say take a good look at the Greenhouse it could be for you.

For Patty and I, visiting Gateways Training School is one of the highlights of our year. Why? It is because the Rudolph family has produced serious training with the finest teachers in a discipleship and worship setting that is second to none. The presence of the Spirit is beyond wonderful at Gateways. Development in faith and character is well accomplished in the program. Any young person who is committed to Messianic Jewish life and called to Jewish mission or World mission would find this a most excellent venue for growth.

Consecrating a season of your life to discipleship is one of the most wise investments you could possible make in your life. Our own stories began with a season similar to what is experienced in The Greenhouse Training School, and that foundational growth is what has allowed us to carry a vision for an entire City that is being transformed by the power of the Gospel. So many people dream of big things; however, the greatest reality we've been given is to experience the love of God surrounded by others who have committed themselves to the way of Jesus. You'll soon find yourself unconcerned by the personal sacrifice when the reward of Christ is seen shining brilliantly in and through you!

The "Gateways experience" is awesome. The depth of worship, fellowship, discipleship, and vision is unique. They have not only had a great impact on their students, but on the community of faith in Israel and other nations around the world. My own family has been powerfully touched by our involvement with the Gateways team.

I would rather send my own son or daughter to a Gateways Beyond discipleship training school than to any school I know. Their daily praise, prayer and prophetic worship, the teaching and training, the outreach to Israel and then to another nation each year are outstanding opportunities to enlarge the hearts of our youth.

Sending our daughter to The Greenhouse was one of the best decisions we've ever made as a family. As parents, we wanted an environment where our daughter could grow not only in her walk with Jesus but also in confidence, character, and clarity of purpose. The Greenhouse provided all of that—and more.

We watched her gain clear direction for her calling, fall more in love with Jesus, form life-giving friendships, and hear the voice of the Lord for her life like never before. We also love that she had so many opportunities to serve around the world. She came home transformed, equipped, and called into her next season with a burning heart for the Lord.

We love Matt, Serah, and the entire The Greenhouse team, and we are forever grateful for the way you poured into our daughter during her time with you.

If you're a parent or student considering The Greenhouse, we can't recommend it highly enough.
