Discipleship in Action

Graduation Day

Our 7 LaunchPad classes just wrapped up for the term.
We ended the term with a graduation party to celebrate all that the students had learned. We honored those who missed less than 2 classes with Certificates of Completion. Our 73 graduating students loved receiving their hard-earned certificates.


As part of graduation, we opened the floor for students to share how the class has impacted their lives. It is always exciting and encouraging to hear them express the way their lives have been changed.


"I didn't believe in God, but this class has taught
me to believe in God, have faith, and even to
teach other people about God."

"This class has taught me that no matter how many times I have wronged God, He will still forgive me and He will always love me."

"My life will never be the same because of the
teaching I received."

Goal Accomplished

Leadership Day  

As we train our coaches, our aim isn't just to improve their teaching ability. We want to develop them into strategic, effective, Godly leaders. One aspect we've focused heavily on this year is goal-setting. Week after week, our coaches were taught how to set goals and practical ways they can work together to achieve them.


Back in February, the coaches set a lofty goal for themselves. Their aim was for at least 85% of the students who started the program to finish. The stats just came in: 86% of the Leadership Summit students who started in February attended the entire term!

We are thrilled to see more students than ever successfully complete this term of Leadership Summit, because we know their lives are being impacted for eternity. It is also thrilling for our coaches to see the fruit of their focused hard work. They are already setting new goals and are eager to raise the bar even higher!

Check out some recent photos from Leadership Summit.

 
 
 

Real Connections

  Interns
 
   

LaunchPad graduations were bittersweet for our interns. While they were excited to see their students finish strong, they were sad to say goodbye for the winter break. (Don't forget, our seasons are opposite yours!)

Matt Peirce, one of our interns, said that he's really been able to see his students' lives change. He was excited to teach about the Great Commission because he felt his students comprehended the significance of Jesus' "farewell address". He knows his students are now equipped to tell
others about Christ.
