WHAT IS A DTS?
A Discipleship Training School (DTS) is 5-month program focused on personal transformation and spiritual growth!
DTS is a live-in discipleship program comprised of two parts: Lecture Phase and Outreach Phase.
During Lecture Phase, students will be immersed in classroom teaching, community living, personal processing, and practical applications. In the Outreach Phase, we step into cross-cultural settings to serve and love others, with a focus on making disciples.
