SEPTEMBER DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING OVERVIEW
We live in a time like no other, with technology about to explode in a way that none of us really have a grid for. In this time there is a great hunger rising, a desire for truth and God is calling for a generation, old and new, to stand.
Those who will see the greatest moves of the Holy Spirit on the earth in these days.
This DTS is designed for those of who want their lives to leave an eternal mark! Those who want to know Jesus intimately and from that place understand they are a warrior, in a spiritual war and how to be effective in extending God's kingdom. Maybe you feel ready... maybe you don't!? If not, will you take a step of faith to believe that God can and will make you ready! Can you hear the sound? Will you answer the call?
This school will have the similar structure to all DTS’s but with an emphasis on spiritual warfare, intercession, the prophetic, the gifts of the Spirit and moving in the power of the Holy Spirit.
This DTS is a multi generational school, we are calling for all ages to rise together!
Our desire is that you will learn to hear His voice and feel His heart for you and others - bringing His healing and freedom. From this place you’ll be empowered to effectively minister His love to others. Worship and freedom of expression will be celebrated in this DTS.
We will also take you on outdoor adventures on the weekends so you can explore and be amazed at the natural beauty of our region.
Do you desire be a follower of Jesus, to respond to the calling inside you and to be radical in your faith. Come on a journey of faith with us, learn to lay down your life and give it all to Him.
The September 2026 DTS is a five-month adventure of following and loving Jesus with your whole heart. It begins with three months of training —learning God’s ways, building your character and building a strong foundation. Then, during the two-month outreach, you’ll take what God has done in you and bring His love to the world.
