DISCIPLESHIP is not merely an academic exercise, but rather a relational experience empowered by the holy spirit during daily life while following Jesus’ example. A relationship is the “vehicle” God uses to bring about real change in people’s lives. There is no such thing as a “secular” job for a disciple of Jesus who fully understands and embraces why he or she is on planet earth.
THE IMMERSE DISCIPLESHIP INSTITUTE consists of six courses, each lasting for five weeks between September and May. Classes meet weekly on Tuesday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.
Additionally, it is broken down into IMMERSE 101 AND 201. Graduates of 101 can go deeper in their discipleship training and continue for another year in Immerse 201.
Upon graduation of Immerse Discipleship Institute students are expected to continue an existing DISCIPLE-MAKING MINISTRY or begin a new disciple-making ministry using their Immerse instruction and training.
