Think of it as a Degree in Discipleship.

The Great Commission directs us all to be wholly engaged in making disciple-makers with Jesus. Academics fit into this work. Study is rewarding, refreshing, and engaging—but it can be exhausting and sometimes, it may seem like a distraction. Still, study and preparation is, according to Jesus' example and Paul's command to Timothy, an essential part of that work.

To this end, we have small cohorts which provide rich discipleship opportunities with other students and professors. We also invite students to participate in weekly "Brown Bag Discipleship" gatherings over supper, the hour before class each week. Together, over our food and before God, we talk and pray together about our work of discipleship with Jesus. We pray for each other for God's strength, wisdom, and perseverance in this Great Work with him.
