The War College – Vancouver
The War College offers three unique ways to form you holistically and introduce you to urban missions: Context, Community and Curriculum.
1) Context – Vancouver’s DTES (downtown East Side) is a neighbourhood full of beauty and pain. By living in the thick of the fight you will learn what it means to love your neighbour as yourself, for the glory of God. This new environment will expose your presuppositions about how the world works, and will introduce you to concepts of authentic community and God’s heart for the broken.
2) Community – Warriors are not fashioned in a vacuum. We all need role models and fellowship towards a common purpose. Vancouver’s 614 Corps and other incarnational mission partners such as Servants and St. Chiara’s offer a hotbed of radical Christians seeking how to love Jesus. Imagine living with a group of people whose purpose is to love Jesus and their neighbours 24/7.
3) Curriculum – God doesn’t want you to check your brains at the door. Rather your whole self was purposed to receive the fullness of Christ. Seeking a spirit of wisdom and revelation, The War College’s curriculum has been carefully prepared to engage body, mind, and spirit. Every stream of the church is explored. We engage with matters of theology, sociology, worldview, ethics and biblical interpretation. Rather than retreat from the ideologies of the world we enter in a discourse that prepares our students to bring Christ into any secular environment or Christian context.

Mile Two Discipleship School
Providence College
Go Further
Mile Two is committed to learning beyond the classroom. Ministry in a variety of urban settings will provide students with the opportunity to translate the study of scripture into a vibrant experience of obedient discipleship.
Biblical Study
Study the Bible and learn from teachers who model the life of a disciple of Jesus in their everyday life. Mile Two also incorporates the spiritual disciplines into daily life, through prayer, worship, fasting, solitude, and many other disciplines that draw us near to God.
Israel Trip
Walk the land that Jesus walked! An essential component of Mile Two is a trip to Israel. Students will gain a new perspective on the Bible as they experience the land and the culture. Scripture will come alive in a new way, providing insights into Gods Word.
Community
Be a part of a community that cares for you and brings out the best in you. Living, learning, and growing together is what we do. Jesus has not called us to follow him alone, but rather together with others on the journey, and so we travel this road together as children of God.
CTI Music Ministries
Are You a Musician?
Every August, CTI Music Ministries trains a new full-time music ministry team and sends them out on tours across the United States and Canada. Our programs focus on sharing the Gospel in churches, schools, prisons, youth groups, rescue missions, and other venues, using music as a tool to communicate our message. CTI Fulltime teams are made up of vocalists, keyboardists, guitarists, bassists, drummers, and sound techs who are looking for opportunities to travel and play music, share their faith, and grow in Christian leadership and character. These team members are recent high school graduates, college students, or postgraduate adults who want to spend a year of life dedicated to sharing the Gospel using their musical gifts.
Spend A Year On The Road
The Fulltime year begins with three weeks of training in Willmar, MN, where team members stay in host homes and come to training each day to learn their music, attend seminars, and bond with their bandmates. After training finishes, team members go out on a series of tours, taking a 14-passenger van and trailer on the road and staying in host homes around North America. The tours are as follows:
- Training Tour (Midwest) – September
- Overseas Tour (South America or Asia) – October
- Fall Tour (East or West Coast) – November-December
- Winter Tour (East or West Coast) – January-March
- Spring Tour (TBD) – April
- Summer Program Leadership Experience (Minnesota or Overseas) June-August
Outtatown Discipleship School
Canadian Mennonite University (CMU)
Our mission is to inspire and nurture students in their life of discipleship with Jesus Christ in a journey towards:
Knowing God: in truth and relationship.
Knowing Yourself: in personality, character, abilities and gifts.
Knowing the World: in its beauty, diversity and pain.
Our purpose is to awaken young adults to faith in Jesus. It is our desire to see a generation of Christian leaders who are willing to deal with the tough issues in this world as part of their faith in Jesus. Through a discipleship process we will encourage them to evaluate their own faith, their North American life styles and assumptions and be sensitized to God’s heart for this world through Bible study, mentoring, service, cross-cultural learning, and participation in a loving Christian community.
If you’re interested in a year of study, service, travel and adventure, we recommend you get your application in quick!
