KNOW GOD AND MAKE HIM KNOWN
Discipleship Training School
Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a transformative journey designed to deepen your faith and understanding of God while equipping you for service in your community and around the world. Our DTS program in Australia spans 5-6 months, divided into lecture and outreach phases. It’s an immersive experience where you’ll engage with teachings, practical assignments, and cross-cultural experiences to grow personally and spiritually.
Lecture
Spend 12 weeks diving into character development through teachings led by local and international speakers. Topics include hearing God’s voice, understanding His character, and preparing for His call. Experience cultural immersion with visits to country towns and indigenous communities, enhancing your learning journey.
During the lecture phase, you will have wonderful opportunities to visit country towns and indigenous communities and enjoy sitting around the campfire, eating damper, telling stories, and learning from our First Nations people. (you might even get to eat kangaroo)
Outreach
During the 8-9 week practical field assignment, apply what you’ve learned in the Lecture Phase. Work with your team locally and internationally, sharing your faith and gaining cross-cultural experience. Our Outreach teams have visited numerous countries, offering opportunities to deepen your understanding of God and His mission.
Tracks are selected based on students interests, you will gather together with like-minded friends and use your gifts to prepare for outreach both in Australia and overseas. Tracks are chosen in the 1st week of DTS.
