Spring DTS

Our Spring DTS is an opportunity to uniquely fulfill the Great Commission. You will encounter Father God, grow in relationship with Jesus Christ, and impact the world around you with Holy Spirit. You will grow in compassion for the lost and unreached and learn how to effectively further the Kingdom of God.

Throughout DTS, you will partner with existing projects and ministries on the frontline of missions and build up Christ’s church in order to reach the unreached. Not only will you discover new ways to make God known, but you will personally experience and grow in who God is and how He works.

Marriage of the Arts DTS (Fall)

The Marriage of the Arts DTS is an opportunity for artists to step into the Great Commission in a new way. Participants will create art that is informed by God's Word in regards to the "least among these,” intern for ongoing ministries, and help pioneer new ministries while preparing for and serving on outreach.

Art Tracks are a platform for growing in your faith in the context of your identity as an artist. The time will not be focused on teaching you skills and techniques but rather discovering God's calling and your potential as an artist. It's an opportunity to grow in your art-form and learn how you can use your creativity and passion for the glory of God.

Come closer to him as he reveals the dreams and plans he has for your life. Discipleship does not happen by only sitting in a classroom or behind a desk. Discipleship is an action. It happens by walking with Jesus and following him wherever he leads.
