Ayers – Built Deep Ministries


Built Deep is about strengthening the hands of Christ’s servants.

We believe that Jesus calls people to serve in his kingdom and his Church. We also believe that God’s servants warrant the very highest degree of equipping, care, and attention.

Because we are convinced that Christian service flows most powerfully out of well-rounded lives that are fully connected to God and alive in the Holy Spirit, Built Deep prioritizes the spiritual and social development of Christian leaders while providing Christian ministry training at levels equivalent to undergraduate and graduate education in the divinities.
