What is ROGO School?
ROGO School is an eight-month leadership development program that draws out the leadership qualities that are already in you, sharpens your skills and develops your character so that you will be the kind of leader that people want to follow. Our ROGO School individualized tracks are designed to build on your unique experience, ignite your purpose and give you inspiration to do your life’s work.
ROGO School is focused on building three areas:
- Skills
- Character
- Relatability
Since its launch in 2015, ROGO school has (1) equipped over 150 people to lead in the ministry they serve in and (2) adapted every year to serve the needs of the church. The 2021 year is unlike any ROGO School Cohort that has happened before.

Testimonials
“Through the ROGO School program, I became more confident in the person that God created me to be. In all areas, my giftings, my personality, my emotions; they were all intentionally created by God to reflect his personality to the world. Once I was able to recognize and work in these areas, it was so freeing and empowering.”
Megan Jones | Class of 2017
“ROGO school has changed my life in many ways! I’ve learned such valuable wisdom from my church’s leaders and my mentor. I’ve made awesome friends through ROGO school and seen them shine in the different ways they love and serve the church. Through ROGO school, I was hired on as a worship leader for our church- which is my dream job! Everything I’ve learned has helped, and continues to help me to be a better employee, leader, christian, person. I love it!”

“I can honestly say that enrolling in ROGO School and being accepted last year was an experience I will never forget. The teaching was by far some of the best teachings I have ever been a part of, along with building up the relationships with everyone associated with ROGO School as well as the other students and most importantly with God.”
