Education is Broken.
We Can Fix it.
Mission
25 Years of Experience: Local Solutions for a National Crisis
ARM exists to equip and empower pastors and parents to rescue the next generation by taking back education in their local communities. America's youngest students are the most anxious, depressed, atheist generation in the history of our nation. We believe that as pastors and parents partner together, we can turn the trajectory for the next generation. Over the last 20 years, we have seen church-based communities serve as a powerful impetus for turning the hearts of children back to their parents and raising up a generation of champions.
01
Educating
ARM provides research to help churches identify the significant challenges of traditional education in the US and the impact this has on the local community. The system is broken, the agenda is corrupt, and the methodology is ineffective. We awaken churches to the dangers of public schools and provide powerful local solutions.
02
Equipping
With 25+ years experience and over 34 academies launched in the United States, ARM provides personalized coaching, tailored resources, and powerful tools to get your very own academy up and running in as little as four weeks anywhere in the US.
What We Provide
01
Research & Evaluation
Along with nationwide research, ARM also gathers data pertaining to your specific church and community. We evaluate your ministry to see how we can best tailor a program designed for you that includes your church's DNA.
02
Training & Equipping
ARM helps identify key leaders needed to run every aspect of your academy. We dedicate the necessary time to fully train and equip your leaders and volunteers so that they can carry out the mission and purpose with confidence. We help build out classes and courses that will draw new students and cater to specific needs within your church.
03
Marketing & Pre-Launch
Our marketing team will propose tried and true methods to market and promote your new academy to your church members and to the community. We will help you organize interest meetings and provide talking points to help motivate interested parents.
04
Academy Launch
ARM gives you tools to correctly and successfully launch your academy. We help you with your preparation and provide helpful insights on what to expect in your first day, your first week and your first month.
05
Ongoing Coaching & Follow Up
ARM is will you all of the way, not just from the beginning to the day you launch, but we are here to support you once your academy is up and running. We provide continued training and follow up to ensure that your academy is healthy and stabilized.
