WHAT IS DTS?
DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL
Find your PASSION, your PURPOSE and your PLACE in God's kingdom
When a follower of Jesus begins to take their faith seriously, a whole world opens up before them—full of potential, purpose, and calling. But with that wide-open future can come uncertainty. What's next? How do I hear God's voice clearly? How do I walk in my true identity?
​
The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is your roadmap for this journey. In this immersive, five-month school, you'll walk step-by-step into deeper intimacy with God, learning to recognize His voice, study His Word, and rely on the Holy Spirit as your guide.
This is a powerful time for deep personal work. As you draw closer to God, you'll find freedom from past hurts and strongholds, and experience healing from the wounds of trauma and broken identity. You'll gain a profound understanding of the goodness of God and His restoration work in your life.
But transformation doesn't stop there. As you are poured into, you'll be equipped to pour out—learning how to share the Gospel boldly, serve others cross-culturally, and live out the Great Commission. DTS is more than a school. It's a launching pad where calling becomes clear, community becomes family, and the unknown future becomes a daily walk of faith.

Community feedback and mentoring, so growth isn’t done alone

-
Boldly sharing the Gospel with everyone from first time listeners, to former believers
-
Serving local churches and ministries in tangible, practical ways as Jesus did
-
Stepping into leadership, often in unpredictable environments with the support of your team behind you
-
Letting the Holy Spirit lead, moment by moment remembering that everything we do comes from Him
This is the start of a lifestyle of dependence, humility, and love. Expect long travel days, deep relationships, unexpected miracles, and practical impact. The world is full of people waiting, and you’re being sent to them.
