THE VISION
Our Weeklong Intensive Training takes the power of our semester training and crams it strategically into a digestible one-week spoonful of spectacular.
This Weeklong Intensive is the first week in our 5-Week Discipleship Training program. And while we’d love for you to join us for the entire five weeks, if you can’t come for that length of time, then we encourage you to join us in this one-week version.
During the Weeklong Intensive Discipleship Training program, you will …
- Fill your day with prayer, worship, and discipleship sessions as you enjoy a peaceful environment that helps you focus on Jesus Christ.
- Join fellow believers from around the world in learning how Christianity actually works.
- Discover how to stand boldly in your position as a Christian as you learn about practical faith, grace, the Gospel, and how to study the Bible.
- Watch your spiritual life grow as you fall more in love with Jesus Christ and His Word.
At the end of your week on-campus, we highly encourage you to transition into our online training and mentoring program where you will take the truths from the week and go deeper through daily discipleship sessions, weekly mentoring, and more.
These 90 days of online training, taking less than an hour a day to complete, deepens what you learn in the Weeklong Intensive and gives practical tools for Christian living, Bible study, implementing spiritual disciplines into your daily schedule, and helps you discover the secret for a Christianity that actually works.
Ellerslie’s Weeklong Intensive is built to maximize your understanding of the Bible and increase your love for and relationship with Jesus Christ. Each day of the training is purposely set up to have you encounter more and more and more of Him.
