Next Discipleship module LiFE is in its infancy and is being constantly reviewed. Over the coming months we hope to secure its long term future, and with this, the next Discipleship module being in the spring of 2016. The discipleship module is fundamental to the LiFE as it both teaches about discipleship and introduces the style of learning. We strongly recommend that people start the LiFE course with this module, but this is not an absolute requirement. Click here to express interest: |
