I have already taken the standalone Story and Belief classes. Do I need to take Year 1?If you have successfully completed our previous iterations of 'Story' and 'Belief,' you have met the suggested prerequisites for all Year 2 and Year 3 courses. While you are welcome to take the new integrated Deep Discipleship course for further growth, you are fully eligible to jump into any of the Build or Practice tracks."
Why does this cost $20 per class?Each class has a required book and workbook. We will provide you with both before the first class so you don't have to bother with the hassle of purchasing them on your own.
Is childcare provided?If you choose the Sunday morning option, children are able to sign up for a second hour of Sunday School. There is no childcare option offered for the other times.
Can I take more than one class at a time?While we don't recommend this because of the workload, this is an option for individuals who may not be able to attend classes in some seasons.
Can I take a mixture of morning and evening classes throughout the year?Yes! If your schedule changes, you may switch to a new time. Please email
Adam.Christian@onlineCFC.com for a custom schedule.
Do I have to take all three classes?You do not have to take all three but we STRONGLY encourage that you do. Regardless of how much you already know, there is always more to learn about God and you may hear something in a new way that enhances your thinking. Additionally, studying in a community setting has huge benefits.
Do I have to take these classes in a specific order?Flexibility for Advanced Tracks: While we have organized our curriculum into Year 2: Build (Method, Trust, Heritage) and Year 3: Practice (Worldview, Defend, Share), these six courses do not have to be taken in a specific order. Once you have completed your Year 1 Foundations (or previous Story and Belief classes), you may choose the 'Build' or 'Practice' courses that best fit your schedule.
Do I need to purchase a book?No. Your registration fee covers the book and workbook. We will provide you with all of this before the first class.
What if I need to miss a class?We get that things come up and sometimes you need to miss a class. Our hope is that you will attend at least 8 out of the 10 sessions to get the most out of these classes. If you find that you need to miss more, please talk with your instructor.
When can I register for Discipleship Academy CORE?Registration is open now. The Academy runs from fall to spring, following a trimester schedule. To sign up for a year at a time, look for registration each summer.
How much work can I expect per week?With the reading and the workbook combined, you can expect no more that 2 hours of homework per week, in addition to the hour and a half class session.
Is Discipleship Academy CORE available online?Not yet! We hope to offer classes in that format soon.
