Faith isn’t just a religious concept—it’s the inner spark that keeps us going. It shows up in our daily decisions, dreams, and the way we face challenges. While the dictionary defines it in limited terms, faith touches every part of our lives—from how we start our mornings to the way we pursue our biggest goals.
Have you ever wondered what drives an entrepreneur to launch a startup? What inspires a filmmaker to finish their script? What keeps a student motivated in a new country, away from home?
The answer is simple: faith.
At Cumorah Academy, faith is the heartbeat of everything we do—both academically and spiritually. It’s not just about believing in something higher; it’s about believing in yourself, in your potential, and in the possibility of a better future.
Faith in Action: Justan’s Story
Take Justan Sandoval, for example.
He’s originally from Colombia, but now lives in Cartagena, Spain. He found out about Cumorah Academy through a friend who had attended the previous semester. At the time, Justan was working at a chair-repair company. He heard about the program and something inside him clicked. That something? Faith.
Despite the challenges, he chose to take a leap:
“I quit my job before coming here. It was hard, but it will be worth it in the long run.”
That decision took courage. It took faith. And it opened a world of new possibilities.
A Campus That Builds More Than Skills
At Cumorah Academy, students like Justan don’t just attend classes—they immerse themselves in transformation.
He’s currently studying Leadership and English, and what he’s learned goes far beyond the classroom:
“Cumorah taught me to grab the opportunities that lay around me. I’ve learned how to control my time and how to use it.”
Our Leadership Program includes powerful topics that prepare students for real-world success:
- Time Management: Learn how to make the most of your day.
- Networking: Build global relationships that can last a lifetime.
- Motivation: Discover what fuels you and how to keep moving forward.
- Purpose: Align your skills with your passion to make an impact.
- Teamwork and Communication: Sharpen the tools that every leader needs.
A Place That Believes in You
Unlike most environments where people are unaware or unsure of their potential, Cumorah Academy is designed to unleash what’s hidden inside.
Many students arrive without knowing just how much they’re capable of achieving. But by the end of their semester, they walk away with:
- Confidence to pursue their goals
- Friendships across cultures and languages
- A renewed sense of direction
- The tools to take action and make their mark
As Justan puts it:
“Coming to Cumorah Academy changed the way I see things. I’ve made friends from different countries. The people around me encourage me to be better!”
“It can be an outstanding experience in your life!”
Faith That Transforms the Future
At the core of Justan’s story—and the story of every student at Cumorah Academy—is a belief that the future holds something greater. And that belief is fueled by faith.
When students leave campus, they’re not just going back home with memories. They return with vision, direction, and the tools to act on their dreams.
“I’m more confident to pursue a new job once I return home!”
That’s the real power of a semester at Cumorah Academy.
Why Faith Matters—Now More Than Ever
In a world full of distractions, disappointments, and delays, it’s easy to lose hope. But faith—real, life-anchoring faith—is what allows us to keep moving forward. At Cumorah, we nurture that faith:
- Faith in yourself
- Faith in your future
- Faith in the people around you
- Faith in your ability to grow, change, and contribute
Whether you’re a student looking for direction, a dreamer unsure of your next step, or simply someone ready for more—Cumorah Academy is for you.
Justan expressed his feelings about joining our program in the video below:
