Core Elements

Every element is purposely selected to help you grow as a follower of Jesus and be equipped as a disciple maker for life. In this experiential training environment, participants are given space to practice what they are learning.

Disciple Maker Training

In this experiential learning community, emerging servant leaders are guided through training, practice and mentored times of reflection as they grow as disciple makers. As participants explore Jesus’ Great Commission, specific focus is given to developing dependent, compassionate, discerning and reconciling traits enabling them to step alongside others in Jesus' ministry globally.

Habits of Grace

This training element encourages participants to develop spiritual habits out of a relationship with their Heavenly Father fostering growth through prayer, scripture, rest, and worship. It emphasizes cultivating Christ-likeness, deepening one’s relationship with God, and integrating these practices while engaging in the Great Commission.

Outreach Ministry

In this hands-on training participants are equipped to present God's Big Story in an engaging way. Creativity, community and the Word of God are combined in this experiential learning training. Participants will learn to use reproducible teaching tools in ministry and Gospel presentations. Additionally, they are given opportunity to put into practice relational discipleship skills with local volunteers during the outreach week.

Discerning Disciple Making

In the second week of training, servant leaders study Jesus’ disciple-making process, focusing on four boat experiences from the Gospels. They examine the disciples’ growth and how Jesus guided them through different phases of development until they were prepared to BE Disciple Makers.
