Daily schedule and session timings
Mini Intensive Part 1 is a 3-day training programme designed for church planters, pastors, and elders committed to planting and strengthening gospel-centred churches. In Part 1, participants will be introduced to a series of foundational modules exploring the gospel’s implications for both the leader and the church. These include Theological Vision, Gospel Theology, Renewal Framework, How People Change, Contextualisation, and more, designed to help leaders immerse in Gospel DNA and reflect on how the gospel renews our hearts and the heart of the church.
Across three days of structured, highly interactive training, participants will engage deeply with core concepts through reflections and discussions, and encourage one another.
At the upcoming Mini Intensive, two language tracks—English and Mandarin—will run concurrently but separately.
