WHAT IS DISCIPLESHIP ACADEMY CORE?
Discipleship is all about becoming more like Jesus, and part of that process is learning to read his words to us effectively, to think well about what he reveals of himself, and to apply this into our lives.

Discipleship Academy is designed to meet these needs, and has been created with new believers and seasoned disciples all in mind. Wherever you are in your discipleship journey, Discipleship Academy is designed to help you dig more deeply into your faith.

DURATION
Discipeship Academy CORE is a three-year program. You will sign up for a one year or a single class at a time and each year in the program lasts nine months on a trimester schedule (September-May). Each class is approximately ten weeks.

Weekly classes consist of lecture, discussion, and practical application. In-person lectures and discussion take place on Sundays at 9:15am or 6pm. Classes rotate on two different schedules to accommodate. The Sunday morning option follows the Story, Belief, Method schedule, the evening options follows the Method, Story, Belief schedule. See more about the classes below.

Classes start September 8th, December 1st, and March 2nd.

COST
Registration Cost is $25 per class or $60 if you bundle the entire year. This fee covers books, workbooks, and any other materials necessary for the three classes.

Why does this cost $25 per class?
Each class has a required book and workbook. We will provide you with both before the first class so you don't have to bother with the hassel of purchasing them on your own.

Is childcare provided?
Classes are offered at two times, Sunday morning and Sunday evening. If you take the morning option, children are able to sign up for a second hour of Sunday School. There is no childcare option offered for the evening course.

Can I take more than one class at a time?
While we don't recommned this becuase of the workload, this is an option for individuals who may not be able to attend classes in some seasons.

Can I take a mixture of morning and evening classes throughout the year?
Yes! If your schedule changes, you may switch to a new time. Please email Adam.Christian@onlineCFC.com for a custom schedule.

Do I have to take all three classes?
You do not have to take all three but we STRONGLY encourage that you do. Regardless of how much you already know, there is always more to learn about God and you may hear something in a new way that enhances your thinking. Additionally, studying in a community setting has huge benefits.

Do I have to take these classes in a specific order?
No, you may take these classes in any order that works for your schedule!

Do I need to purchase a book?
No. Your registration fee covers the book and workbook. We will provide you with all of this before the first class.

What if I need to miss a class?
We get that things come up and sometimes you need to miss a class. Our hope is that you will attend at least 8 out of the 10 sessions to get the most out of these classes. If you find that you need to miss more, please talk with your instructor.

When can I register for Discipleship Academy CORE?
Registration is open now. The Academy runs from fall to spring, following a trimester schedule. To sign up for a year at a time, look for registration each summer.

How much work can I expect per week?
With the reading and the workbook combined, you can expect no more that 2 hours of homework per week, in addition to the hour and a half class session.

Is Discipleship Academy CORE available online?
Not yet! We hope to offer classes in that format soon.
