Embrace the Urban Ministry with DTS
The next DTS (Discipleship Training School) in San Francisco will equip you to embrace urban ministry. This program is crafted to be a transformative journey. Where faith becomes practical. Relationships are deepened, and God's passion for the nations becomes your own.
Beginning on January 26, 2026, we invite you to join us in the vibrant heart of San Francisco. This is a compelling five-month adventure.
The DTS is structured into two distinct phases:
Lecture Phase – We have a 3-month lecture phase. You will have the opportunity to engage with experienced teachers and missionaries. They will teach you, challenge you, and uplift you. The curriculum covers hearing God's voice, understanding God's character, identity in Christ, mission and evangelism, and living a missional lifestyle. You will also participate in small groups and receive one-on-one mentoring. There will be discussions that personalize and enhance your learning experience.
Outreach Phase – Following the lecture phase, you will have a 2-month outreach period. This phase is for implementing what you've learned during the lecture phase. You will be serving communities locally or abroad with your team. This phase transitions classroom learning into real-world application. You will have many opportunities to share the love of Jesus through practical service, evangelism, and discipleship.
What sets DTS apart is its community life. Living, dining, and serving together fosters lifelong friendships. And it helps to a deeper comprehension of what it means to follow Jesus in daily life. Worship, prayer, and service are woven seamlessly into the school’s rhythm. It provides an environment to encounter God and deepen your intimacy with Him.
DTS is more than just a school; it's a call to transformation. If you're ready to step out in faith, grow closer to God, and engage in His mission, this DTS is for you. Apply today and embrace the urban ministry.
