WHAT IS A MAD DTS?
A 6 month experience to deepen your relationship with God & learn to use your artistic giftings to worship Jesus & draw people home to Him.
MADE IN
HIS IMAGE
God is Creator — He has made everything and He has made it beautiful (Gen 1, John 1:3). And God has made us in His likeness (Gen 1:27). Our creativity comes from Him & He has given us gifts that reflect His own nature.
This Discipleship Training School (DTS) was developed as a space for creatives to use their giftings & the art forms they love to know God & make Him known. MAD stands for Music, Art, Dance — and these were the art focuses the school was founded upon. Over the years, the DTS has expanded to also offer the Photo, Film & Coffee tracks as well.
