A day in the life of an ADS student includes reading 4-5 chapters from the Bible, scripture memorization (3-4 per week), book readings, weekly class attendance (6-10pm on Mondays). Students will also serve Sunday mornings twice a month (kids, youth, host team, coffee setup, Production, etc). You will also share the Gospel at least three times a week.

Ultimately, you will get out of the experience what you are able to put into it. The staff is here to stand with you and equip you. Your personal ownership in this process is key for the school to be successful for you, but you need to come into the school with a desire to grow in God.

These are some of the areas we will focus on throughout the year:

• Personal Devotional life/Bible reading/worship/prayer

• Vulnerability

• Personal and relational wholeness

• Accountability

• Character

• Integrity

• Servanthood

• General alignment to the life and teachings of Jesus and the scriptures

• Global and local awareness

• Biblical financial stewardship (diligent work, simple living, generous giving)

• Evangelism

• Missional living

• Disciple-making

You will be expected to participate in the following:

• Weekend retreat at the beginning of the class year (early October)

• World Mandate

• One weekend local outreach (may involve travel to another city)

• Attend class (Monday evenings 6:00 - 10:00 pm)

• Saturday class once per month

• Attend a Lifegroup

• Serve on Sunday mornings (twice monthly, with at least once monthly in children’s ministry)

• Attend Sunday services and be available for the ministry team

• Corporate prayer and fasting

• Serve at different Antioch events

• End-of-class international mission trip (2 weeks)

• Weekly assignments including Bible reading, scripture memory, book reading, videos, written assignments, etc.

By committing to the school, you are giving us – the staff and volunteer leaders – permission to help you and challenge you in these areas. While we do not expect perfection, we do desire to see you grow in each of the areas listed above. There will be weekly accountability and support for your growth during this time. We are committed to your personal development as a disciple of Jesus and your fruitfulness in life, and we are here to serve and exhort you toward those. Jesus is our vision, and loving obedience to Him is the goal.

You will also have the opportunity to partner with God in what He is doing locally and in the nations by participating in a weekend-long regional outreach (covered by your tuition) as well as a two-week international mission trip (in addition to your tuition).
