GFA World's School of Discipleship
One year that will change your life.
Start your journey down a path to be transformed more and more into the image of Christ. Be immersed in a Christ-centered community where you will learn by example.
We believe the Lord desires to raise up young people in this generation who are godly, who are actively engaged in reaching their generation for Christ, who fulfill their God-given purpose, who will stand firm in a culture drifting away from God, and who desire to live a life of worship.
School of Discipleship is designed to help young people experience this life of God worked out through prayer, worship, service, and community. You will have opportunity to grow in grace and love, develop a deep and humble walk with the living God, and experience lasting life-change.
GFA World’s School of Discipleship is a one-year program for young people who want to experience genuine life for Christ.

What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus?
I believe I've experienced more growth as a believer during my time here than in the four years before I came. The Lord has a unique atmosphere of godly people here. The leaders, especially, have impacted my life greatly. Their actions, more than their words, have spoken to my heart the most and have challenged me to live a life that truly reflects Christ. My heart is to please God and only Him. I'm glad I'm in a place where I have good examples I can follow. Never have I been certain that I was in the will of God until this year.” —Damelia, a discipleship graduate
