Sarah Hummel founded Seapointe College to answer a call many institutions ignore: to provide an accessible, mentorship-driven Christian college experience that forms both the soul and the mind. With a heart for students who are often overlooked—those limited by finances, mental health challenges, or traditional academic structures—Sarah is building something new. Seapointe trains leaders for ministry and the marketplace, rooted in spiritual formation, practical service, and Gospel clarity. Now she’s calling for partners to help expand the school’s reach, ensuring every student called by God can answer boldly.

The Multiplier

A Leader Called to Rebuild the Way We Form Christian Leaders

Before Seapointe College existed, Sarah Hummel was living its vision. Her journey as a minister, educator, and mentor revealed a troubling gap: many gifted young people felt called to ministry but couldn’t afford Christian higher education—or couldn’t thrive in traditional academic environments. Others earned degrees but left spiritually underdeveloped and practically unprepared.

Out of this burden, Sarah heard a clear call from God: build a space that removes barriers and raises leaders. A place where spiritual formation isn’t secondary to academics but woven throughout it. Where mentorship is personal. Where no student is disqualified by finances or background.

With prayer, wise counsel, and a deep conviction, Sarah launched Seapointe College in 2022. Today, students are flourishing in ministry, nonprofit work, education, and creative fields—because someone made a way for them to receive holistic Christian training. Sarah’s vision is not just for one campus—it’s for a movement.

The Challenge

Undiscovered Students, Untold Stories

Seapointe’s model is working. Students who once felt unseen are discovering identity and purpose. Graduates are stepping into roles of influence and ministry. But one core challenge remains: too many of the right students don’t know Seapointe exists.

These are students who need spiritual formation alongside academics. Students who are ready to lead but have been locked out by tuition costs, mental health struggles, or lack of mentorship. Sarah built Seapointe for them—but without significant outreach, many will never hear about it.

Right now, the greatest barrier isn’t curriculum, staff, or classroom space—it’s connection. Until more students hear the story, they can’t step into their own.

The Partnership

Why Multiply and Donors Matter Now

Sarah is not walking alone. Through Multiply’s support and the partnership of generous believers, Seapointe is already changing lives. But to scale the model, Sarah needs advocates and givers who see what she sees: the untapped potential in this next generation.

This partnership is about more than funding. It’s about multiplying leaders who carry biblical truth into every corner of culture—churches, shelters, schools, nonprofits, business, and beyond. When you give, you’re not just supporting a college—you’re launching disciple-leaders into the world.

Together, we can raise up thousands who would otherwise be left out—not because they lack calling, but because they lack access.

The Plan

Growth Through Strategic Outreach

The immediate goal is targeted and achievable: raise funds for student recruitment and marketing. Every dollar will go directly toward spreading the word to students who need this kind of education—through digital ads, church connections, grassroots outreach, and regional awareness campaigns.

Seapointe’s tuition model is intentionally low. Most students receive scholarships. That means every marketing dollar is pure mission—it helps students discover a pathway they can actually afford.

This is the front door to discipleship-based education. And it’s wide open—if we can help students find it.

What’s At Risk

If They Never Hear About It

If outreach stalls, so does the mission. The infrastructure is in place. The degree program was recently fast tracked for accredited. The model is proven. But if students never hear about Seapointe, they will either settle for schools that leave them spiritually under-formed—or walk away from education entirely.

The cost of inaction isn’t just financial. It’s the loss of potential kingdom leaders—men and women who are called, ready, and waiting for a door to open.

This is a moment of urgency. The vision exists. The pathway is paved. Now it needs momentum.

What’s Possible

When Students Step Into Their Calling

When Seapointe reaches the right students, everything changes.

Graduates will bring Gospel-centered wisdom into pulpits and public schools, worship teams and wellness centers, nonprofits and creative industries. They’ll serve in urban neighborhoods and corporate offices. They’ll lead not just with skill, but with spiritual formation and mentorship at their core.

This is more than growing a college—it’s seeding a generation of disciple-leaders who see their whole lives as ministry.

The Opportunity

Help Us Reach the Ones Who Are Ready

Now is the time to act.

Your gift will help Seapointe College reach students who are ready to say yes to God’s call. These are future leaders who might otherwise never hear about the opportunity to be trained, discipled, and sent.

• Every dollar goes to student outreach.
• Every story shared could open a door to formation.
• Every graduate becomes a living witness of God’s mission.

Join us in equipping the next generation—one student, one story, one calling at a time.
