Our students live together in community and share meals together weekly. We strive to help students identify their unique gifts and callings, while keeping them within their spheres of influence or vocations. We believe Cross-cultural exposure happens both locally and globally. There is a special emphases throughout the course on preparing the students to evangelize and disciple current and future generations, answering the call, "Go into all the world and teach (make disciples of) all nations." (Matthew 28:19). This courses aim, as stated previously, is to make students disciples, who make disciples of Jesus. Therefore, we will not only teach the required DTS topics, but we will discuss God's view on topics such as finances, health, fitness, eating, sleeping, time management, sex and relationships. Outreaches in the past have consisted of both local and global ministry. Our students are exposed to different types of missions work; so our outreaches include serving by mercy ministry, evangelism, community development (tutoring, ESL), and many more.
