What Is A DTS?

Discipleship Training School is a five month course in a live/learn community where you spend time getting to know God and His purpose for your life. Lecture Phase, the first three months, consists of class time, local outreach, elective tracks, worship, and fellowship. The last two months, Outreach Phase, allows you to walk out what you have learned in Lecture Phase by going, serving, and reaching others with the love of God. Come discover your purpose and impact people, communities, and nations.
