Welcome to the Discipleship Academy

The Academy's goal is to build authentic spiritual leaders for the twenty first century, giving each learner building tools and opening the mind to new and exciting ways of making disciples for Jesus Christ and the Church in his spirit.

2 Timothy 2:15  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
