Discipleship University is a weekend designed to strengthen your faith and build relationships with people of like-minded faith. 

Discipleship: Like other rabbis of his day, Jesus had disciples called talmidim. The disciples' deepest desire was to follow their rabbi so closely that they would start to think and act like him. Like other rabbis of his day, Jesus had disciples called talmidim, devout followers who were probably in their mid-teens. Gifted students approached a rabbi and asked, "May I follow you?" in effect, saying, "Do I have what it takes to be like you?" The rabbi either accepted the student as a talmid or sent him away to pursue a trade. Jesus broke this pattern when he chose his own talmidim. As he asked his disciples to follow him, they knew without a doubt that their rabbi believed in them. A talmid followed the rabbi everywhere, often without knowing or asking where he was going. He rarely left his rabbi's side for fear that he would miss a teachable moment. And he watched the rabbi's every move, noting how he acted and thought about a variety of situations. Talmidim trusted their rabbi completely. They worked passionately to incorporate the rabbi's actions and words into their lives. The disciples' deepest desire was to follow their rabbi so closely that they would start to think and act like him. Jesus' twelve disciples ultimately succeeded in becoming like their rabbi: Their missionary efforts changed the world, and most of them gave their lives in the process.

University: Think of the University setting where you enter school as a Freshman and you grown and learn in core subjects as you make your academic journey and finally graduate.  You are equipped to enter the workforce and be a positive influence on the society where you live.  This weekend is that same mindset.  We are entering DU as a Freshman in the faith and are working through these classes to equip ourselves with the knowledge God desires for us to graduate to the next level.  We now enter the world around us and be a positive influence for good.  The weekend entail a keynote speaker who will bring challenging lessons throughout the weekend.  Saturday there will be 6 breakout sessions where students will have the opportunity to attend classes that will be offered. Lunch will be provided for everyone.  Come and better yourself to be a disciple of Christ!
