DTS WORKSHOP 2026
AUGUST 16-21, 2026 A 5-Day Workshop created for DTS Leaders and Staff to lead schools effectively in an ever changing world.
WOrkshop Overview
The Discipleship Training School is the front door to the mission. It's the prerequisite for everything else, and for most of us it's where we first learned to hear God and found our passion for discipling young believers to do the same.
This 5 day workshop offers you and other DTS Leaders and Staff teaching and honest conversation with those who've spent decades shaping the DTS globally. You'll go through the school's purpose, the curriculum guidelines, and the foundational values underneath all of it.
What You Will Walk Away With
This week is built for you, not just the role you fill. There's room to ask the questions you've been carrying, to push back on what you've assumed, and to be honest about where you're tired or uncertain.
Clarity on Purpose of the DTS
A grasp of what the DTS is for, what it isn't, and why the curriculum is built the way it is.
DTS Guidelines and Outcomes
Working knowledge of the curriculum guidelines and how they apply to your context, your base, your students.
The Role of Discipleship
Vision that goes past program execution into what actually forms a person. Both ourselves and the students that we lead.
Connection with the Global DTS World
Link into the International DTS Centre and the network of people shaping the DTS everywhere.
Practical Tools for Leaders
Get the framework for the DTS and approaches you can take home and use in your next quarter.
Timely Conversations
Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
