The Granheim Foundation is dedicated to the proclamation of "The Everlasting Gospel" as indicated in Revelation 14:6-12, and in the training of young people for missionary service, at home and abroad.
The Matteson School of Evangelism is located 60 km south east of Oslo, Norway, and offers a twelve month educational program that teaches Bible, evangelism, health and nutrition and organic gardening.
The students assume the responsibility for their own training which includes theory and work experience. Outside of their classroom setting they gain practical experience in a home-style bakery, a vegetarian catering service, and the gardening program. These industries provide work that meet all tuition expenses. In addition to this, they spend a significant part of their time in evangelistic outreach activities.
The program is geared toward college-age young people wanting to learn more about God and the Christian Lifestyle.
While Matteson is a Supporting Ministry, the Norway Union of Seventh-day Adventists genuinely appreciates the program and generously provides the salary for its director.
