6 Months

Discipleship Program

The Discipleship Program is a voluntary program designed to assist our guest in learning what the Bible says concerning their life and relationship with God. The goal of the program is to show from the Bible how God wants to reconcile them to Himself through their trust and commitment to His Son, Jesus Christ, and to show how daily personal Bible study and application of Biblical principals will meet the essentials needs for their life. The Christian life is about more than a one-time decision or having their name on the roster at a church. It is about living a life that glorifies Jesus and drawing others to choose to live for Him as well. The discipleship program teaches about a Christian life.

Any extensions of our guest length of stay depend fully upon satisfactory progress in this program. If they leave prematurely before completing all of the six-month period, they will not be allowed to return to the center for 45 days.
