AND how to know if it is RIGHT FOR YOU
The School of Formation immerses students into intensive environment of growth and discipleship for eight months — including classes of instruction, impartation from spiritual leaders (apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers), one-on-one mentoring, fellowship with other students, times of worship and prayer in the Spirit, homework assignments, and personal studying. During these eight months, Christ forms Himself within, transforming a student’s inner life, healing their heart, and building internal structures for life-long growth in spiritual authority.
The School teaches students how to be functioning members of Christ's overcoming church, equips them in effective communicating and relating, gives them a Biblical worldview, and prepares them for higher education, skilled trades training, or career placement as a “son of the Kingdom.”
Students must be disciples of Christ — men and women who have internalized Jesus’ call to follow Him, have chosen to live every day in the power of His cross, have submitted to Christ’s headship in the church, and are desiring to be integrated with the invading Kingdom of God in the earth. They have chosen to be accountable to the pastors and leaders at Metro Detroit Christian Church (during the eight months of the School) who provide a safe and sacrificial environment of love, encouragement, and authority.
The School’s content is biblical, Spirit-filled, and centered in Christ, and includes:
The mission of the School of Formation flows out of the Father and the Son’s work in preparing and strategically placing “sons of the Kingdom” in the world. In Matthew 13, Mark 4, and Luke 8 the biographers of Jesus record some of His parables and teachings that unveil how God is manifesting His Kingdom on earth.
While the dynamics described by Jesus in His Kingdom parables refer to the final, great second coming of Christ, they also have present-day application when “the Kingdom of God is at hand” and “the ends of the ages” have come upon the church (Mark 1:15; 1 Corinthians 10:11). The preparation and strategic placement of sons of the Kingdom are God’s means to transform families, churches, neighborhoods, organizations, cities, and nations.
The School of Formation is designed for young adults who have a deep desire to see their future integrated with the coming Kingdom of God — and are willing to devote eight months to Kingdom formation as part of their career and life preparation process.
The School is most fruitful in the life of a young adult who has…
It is not possible to participate in the School of Formation and also carry a full academic load at a college or university. Best to take a gap-year and complete one’s education after the School of Formation. It is possible to have a part-time job (under 20 hours/week) during the School of Formation, but this would make for an extremely full schedule which a young adult must be fully aware.
