Trellis is a one-year intentional discipleship journey built to support and shape Christian growth through the framework of a “trellis”—a structure that supports life, fruitfulness, and maturity. Designed for individuals hungry to grow in their understanding of God and their calling within His Church and the world, Trellis weaves together practical theology and personal transformation.
If you are longing to deepen your walk with Christ, discover a refreshed vision for God’s glorious church and enhance your engagement with God’s mission for the world, this is for you. Trellis is open to everyone 18 years and older who is in a position to commit to a year of learning, sharing, and serving.
Those participating in Trellis will commit to three 11-week modules starting in September 2025, which will be anchored in a weekly rotation of classroom-style teaching, trio group processing, and active service within the context of the church and the wider community. Consistent attendance will be integral to the program's effectiveness.
By the end of the year, each participant will have a grounded theological framework, a deepened love for Christ and His Church, and a clearer sense of purpose in God’s mission.
Participants will explore the person and work of Jesus Christ, building a robust understanding of who He is and what it means to follow Him in every area of life.
“That I may know Him...” —Philippians 3:10
Discover God's vision for the Church and learn how to live as an integrated, contributing member of His people. Topics include spiritual gifts, unity, service, and church history.
Engage with God’s mission in the world. Whether across the street or across the globe, participants will be equipped to live as witnesses—rooted, prepared, and fruitful.
