​The school is designed to accompany life outside the Academy. It is accessible for working adults, for busy moms
and dads, for full-time students elsewhere. The commitment is three hours a week of "lecture," which includes
a Question & Response session, with Pastor Tommy Miller or a guest teacher. We have extraordinary access
in this unique environment. Our students are in every decade and stage of life from their 20s to their 80s.
They attend in-person or online.
​
The Legacy Academy of Kingdom Living is not a ministry school, though our students can and do minister from a pulpit.
Our mission is to equip and deploy people who passionately pursue worldwide transformation in their God-given spheres of influence. LAKL is committed to the truth that God loves people and has given His church
supernatural power to bring individuals ​and nations into wholeness.

Workload

There is no homework. We read 5-6 books a year, one at at time. Our directors will guide you through that timeline. There are no book reports. We welcome discussion of the books and other topics within your LAKL Life Circle or in the private Facebook group for students. Reading of the books and the Bible are self-directed.
