Apprenticeship to Jesus is an intensive, experiential approach to discipleship that employs a mentoring style of learning.  Participation involves spending extended periods in various settings, domestic and international, living according to a lifestyle designed to foster the transformation of one’s character.  A mentor facilitates the lifestyle or way of life for a small fellowship of apprentices for the purpose of learning the ways of God, walking in faith and obedience, and maturing in the likeness and character of Jesus the Messiah.  To be clear, Jesus is the Master Teacher of Apprenticeship to Jesus.

Apprenticeship to Jesus endeavors to:

• Rethink the Church’s traditional approaches to discipleship.

• Inform and enlighten our understanding of discipleship through a rediscovery of the ancient Jewish practice of disciple-making that developed a few centuries before Jesus' first coming, but was incorporated and modeled to perfection by Jesus with his disciples.

• Restore discipleship as a lifestyle or way of living that has an inseparable relationship with Jesus' message, the kingdom of God, and the purpose for which we were created.
