BRIDGE

Servant Leader Training

Grow as a Multicultural Disciple Maker in a Mentored Environment and Implement Your Training in a VBS style Community Outreach in Santa Ana, California.

Experiential Learning

Grow through hands-on learning in the midst of a Christian community of young leaders (ages 22-30) from around the world. Woven throughout your training are times of mentored reflection.

Great Commission Outreach

Grow through experience as you take what you learn individually and as a ministry team and reach out to a local community, and help equip high schoolers to serve in Jesus' Great Commission. 

Overview

Join us for a transformational summer as you explore habits of grace and grow in character, commitment, competency and in understanding Jesus’ call to GO and make disciples of all nations.

During the first week, participants walk through mentored training preparing them to GO and serve as a ministry team and to develop as disciple makers. Then it is time to serve together in a VBS style outreach where participants put their training into practice. Training finishes with reflection on the experience and what God has been teaching each Christ follower before they return to their nations.
