Everything we do is to encourage and equip evangelical churches to bear much fruit for the glory of God (John 15, Ephesians 4:11-16).
While being flexible to the Holy Spirit’s leading and to the needs of local churches, we do this in several ways.
RE-FORMA
At Árbol de Vida, we facilitate nonformal seminary classes to address the crisis of under-trained pastors and church leaders in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Re-Forma provides a recognized, global standard to ensure that leaders are biblically-trained through measurable outcomes – and impact-based assessments.
The 18-month certification is paced into trimesters, with our first group of students graduating in December 2026. Our prayer is that Árbol de Vida would cultivate healthy churches deeply rooted in the Word of God that impact many generations to come.
RESOURCES
Through offering trainings, conferences, free Bibles and other helpful resources, we endeavor to equip leaders to better serve their churches and families.
RECEIVE
Hospitality is a huge part of our ministry. Whether it’s hosting families, church mission teams, pastoral couples who need a reprieve or locals who attend our events, Árbol de Vida seeks to welcome and receive others with joy.
OUT-REACH
We partner with local churches to reach children and youth with the gospel of Jesus Christ through VBS and day camps.
