A-TEAM SYLLABUS

Welcome to Apprenticeship (also known as the A-Team)! Our hope is that over the next eight weeks three things will happen. First, you will grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus. Second, you will grow in community with the people in this Apprenticeship class. Third, you will pray and consider if God is asking you to join the Discipleship Team and reach the campus with the good news of Jesus.

 

This is an opportunity to grow, but you should also consider this an invitation to really lean in to becoming an apprentice. This is different than your Core Group. This is a class. That means that there will be expectations, homework, and grades. You get to choose how to approach the class. If you’re just looking for your own growth and information, you can approach it like auditing. If you are considering applying for the Discipleship Team, you need to treat it like a class you want to pass.
