The EDGE Discipleship Training is a free training sponsored by First Priority, a Christian organization that aims to be a resource to students for sharing the gospel with friends at school.

Youth Service Schedule:

Middle School: Will meet in the EDGE Youth Room at the end of the First Praise and Worship Service at approximately 9:30 am.

High School: Students will meet in the EDGE Youth Room at the end of the Second Praise and Worship Service at approximately 10:15 am.

The EDGE Youth will be having a formal dinner where they can continue to fellowship with one another.  The aim is for them to bring a guest (preferably un-churched).  Additionally, they get to dress up and use this as a teaching moment on how to conduct oneself.

Program Description

PRAXIS is a one year certification program. It is not intended to be an academic program although it will be founded upon sound theology and scholarship. PRAXIS is a program about gaining skills to design a church, start a church, and lead a church.

The program consists of twelve required core courses and an additional twelve directed reading study courses. In addition to that each student will be required to organize and execute two outreach ministry efforts.

The training material will be presented in four forms.
➢ First, a once a month classroom experience from 6:30 to 9:30.
➢ Second, one required but non-directed cohort sessions a month.
➢ Third, taking in several YouTube sessions a month.
➢ Fourth, students can get advanced standing toward commendation at graduation for helping in needed departments at the home church. The program does have required reading. However all written and other assignments will be completed together in the cohort groups.

The program is designed to prepare talented people to do meaningful ministry work. And gain up to the minute ministry insights as students of ministry.

Who is the program NOT designed to serve?

PRAXIS is not for those wanting advanced theological or biblical training. Though this is an essential element of ministry preparation PRAXIS assumes this area of development is or will be completed in other settings.

PRAXIS is not for those seeking to prepare for academic studies in theology. It is a tough hands-on program. We like to say that PRAXIS is for thinkers who want to move on to the doing stage of ministry.
