"Educating whole personal, whole life,
whole directional Christian"
IM is a missionary organization that aims to accomplish its mission by spreading the gospel to all nations following Matthew 24:14. We regard this vocation as the calling of today's generation — appointing each individual as a missionary.
We run the education ministry, camp ministry, local church union ministry, and mission ministry at its core. At the center is Triple School — the sincere Christian training system that trains each person as a whole personal, whole life, and all-directional missionary to build the kingdom of God.
Whole personal, whole life, whole directional education raising missionaries with spirituality and ability.
Appoints leaders and next-generation by preaching the gospel and organizing regular campings.
Helps local churches educate their members in the faith.
Reproduces voluntary education and mission by spreading the gospel worldwide.
Triple School is a sincere-Christian raising system consisting of the Gospel School, Disciple School, and Calling School — hence the name 'Triple School.' It aims for Christians to experience God personally and live their lives as whole directional missionaries by knowing God.
Today's churches face many problems due to a lack of the gospel, knowledge about its purposes, and practice. It is frequently observed that maintaining personal spiritual life and worldly contentment become the purpose of religious life — based on moralism, triumphalism, praying for blessings, and charismatism. Therefore, Triple School was established to raise Christians who live God-centered, neighbor-loving lives and participate in the mission to build God's kingdom.
In the Triple School curriculum, various books are arranged within a framework of reformed theology. IM Mission considers studying through the living book critical because reading is a process of obtaining a mentor who suggests a path of life by encountering the author's thoughts.
"Educating whole personal, whole life, whole directional Christian"
The Gospel is at the center of all development. The Disciple School shapes values. The Calling School expands Christian influence into every sphere of life — family, work, community, and the nations. All three schools work together toward the fullness of Christ.
For the person who established their Christian perspective and worldview through the gospel, their whole personality — intellect, emotion, and volition — develops appropriately. Their job becomes a means of spreading the gospel. Their family becomes a co-worker for the gospel. Their church becomes a community of the gospel. Their life is devoted to the mission.
Humans consist of a body, spirit, and soul — distinguished yet united as holistic beings. A faithful Christian does not separate body and spirit with dualistic thought, instead developing them in God's way. Triple School's foundation comes from 2 Timothy 3:15–17 — three principles: to be made wise unto salvation, to be whole as the man of God, and to accomplish God's work.
All other religions run towards salvation and receive salvation. But Christianity is different — from salvation starts the life of faith. Every Christian should grow from their salvation, based on redemption.
As a holistic being, Christian development is not where body, soul, and spirit are separated — not where faith and life are divided. Spirituality must lay its foundation on appropriate knowledge about God, bearing the fruit of worship and piety from the love of God.
God promised His saving plan in Genesis 3:15, leading history by revealing and practicing His promise. He sent His Son Jesus Christ — carrying all our sins on the cross, conquering death through resurrection — to accomplish salvation.
For Christians living in the end times — between the accomplishment of salvation and its perfection — development must be: a whole personal Christian with a Christian worldview, a whole-life Christian pursuing holiness, and a whole directional Christian who participates in accomplishing the kingdom.
God, the creator and ruler, leads the history of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ until the day of judgment.
The purpose of God leading salvation history is to be glorified by revealing His eternal kingdom.
The means of God leading salvation history: His covenant, His promise — never changing, never failing.
Study and think deeply about biblical truth, doctrine, and the practice of Christianity as the foundation.
From godly thought comes obedience — training and habituating godly action in everyday life.
The one with godly habits practices godliness throughout their whole life, setting an example to all around them.
The vision is the accomplishment of God's kingdom; the vocation is to perform that vision through a specific life calling.
Works for God's kingdom to come wherever one stands — family, work, community, and the mission field.
Builds church community as the body of Christ, living as the bride of Christ awaiting His return.
Knowledge about God is the foundation and core of Christian development. The gospel must be understood in depth — not merely as the fact that Jesus died on the cross 2000 years ago, but as God's entire dispensation of salvation and its purpose. This forms a Christian worldview that transforms how one sees all of life.
Not like before, when you thought this world was made by coincidence — now you understand there will be a day you will stand before God, who is creator and judge. And you understand that God will renew the world and restore the glory of His creation and kingdom. This evangelical worldview achieves the development of intellect, emotion, and will.
God, the creator, saves His people through Jesus until judgment.
The purpose: God glorified through His eternal kingdom.
God's method: His promise, kept forever, never failing.

The purpose of the Gospel School is to educate a whole personality Christian by setting a Christian perspective. When Christians know the history of salvation (Redemptive History), the purpose of salvation (Kingdom of God), and God's method of salvation (Covenant) — their entire worldview is transformed.
A person who forms an evangelical worldview decides their attitude of life, values, and principle. One who knows they are a created being — a saved being — waiting for Jesus' return must think through which standard of life to live by. The most significant value for such a person is piety — resembling God, following and resembling Jesus Christ, the very nature and image of God.
Humans live with their feet on the world. Disciples are 'sanctified people who dwell in the world but not of the world' (John 17:16–17). Thus there needs constant effort to resemble Jesus. Godliness must have the enthusiasm to hate what God hates and do what God loves.
The life of a disciple certainly appears as outer change. When the gospel transforms our inner side, our outer side also changes — as people whose inner side has changed willingly follow the command of Christ.
Study and think deeply about biblical truths, doctrines, and the practice of Christianity.
Obey the truth in the Bible. Train and habituate godly behavior.
Practice godliness throughout the whole life; set an example to people around you.
Salvation is essentially calling. It is a calling which God calls worldly people through His grace — washing them, making them His children, and having them as part of God's kingdom. The Calling School asks: what is the work of God? It is restoring His kingdom by calling His chosen people.
The influence is not about being in a high position nor that of wealth — it is about influencing all directions of the community and society where one belongs. Christians with vocations must have righteous and good influence as parents or children in a family, as a boss or employee at work, as a member of society and of a country.
That is, evangelism and mission appear derived from the eagerness of longing for God's kingdom to come wherever they stand — and reveals as the appearance of living in the end times, waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ, as a church which is the bride of Christ.
The vision is the accomplishment of God's kingdom; vocation is the specific means in actual life — the calling of the generation.
Works hard on evangelism and mission wherever one stands — family, work, community, and the mission field.
Waits for God's people to return; builds church community; lives the end times as the bride of Christ awaiting His second coming.
A believer who has formed a biblical Christian worldview through the Gospel. Their intellect, emotion, and will develop appropriately. They see and interpret all of life through redemptive history, the Kingdom of God, and God's covenant. Their job is a means of spreading the gospel, their family a co-worker, their church a community of the gospel.
A believer who pursues holy life as a person of God's kingdom. Godly thought transforms into godly behavior and ultimately into a godly life — not separate from the world, but sanctified within it. As the disciple of Jesus, there is no deceit and is holy in their life. Pleasing God is a work for the person who has the gospel in their heart.
A believer who participates in accomplishing the Kingdom of God in every sphere of life — family, work, society, and the nations. Their vocation becomes a means of mission. Evangelism and mission appear from the eagerness of longing for God's kingdom to come wherever they stand. Their life is devoted to the mission.
Triple School aims for every believer to grow into the fullness of Christ — trained by the Gospel, shaped by His values, and sent out as a whole directional missionary to build the Kingdom of God until He comes again. "To bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ." (Ephesians 1:10)
Triple School is in the same context as the entire Bible. The gospel — the news of the recovery of God's kingdom — discipleship, the faith and obedience of God's people, and calling — the church's vocation for the glory of God — are three great streams of the Bible that Triple School retains. The Bible aims for the great day in Ephesians 1:10.
Gospel School goes along with biblical theology. It forms a Christian worldview through the historical revelation of the Bible — the history of salvation, of God's kingdom, and of the covenant. God has expressed His heart through the history and life of people throughout 66 books of the Bible.
Disciple School keeps up with systematic theology. Firm doctrinal truth becomes the values of Christ to encourage godly life. Godliness is about knowing God — and it is practiced by loving God. You long for holiness when you get to know the holiness of God; you long for love when you get to know His love.
Calling School goes along with historical and practical theology — considering how to accomplish the vocation of mission today as a church living between the first and second coming, reflecting on how God led the history of mission through the history of the church.
Triple School is seen through the 5 Sola — the core values that led the spirit of the Reformation. The purpose of Triple School is to recover: by grace alone, in Christ alone, the gospel of by faith alone, the godly life of disciples, and the vocation of God's kingdom. This generation needs reformation.
In the place of truth and godliness have stepped in human will and reason. In the place where God is master, self-realization and self-contentment. In the place of the declaration of the word of God, marketing, psychology, and the power of positivity. Triple School exists to recover the essence of faith — the sincere-Christian raising system for this generation.
