We believe the Gospel is for all peoples, and that the complexity of developing cross-cultural Kingdom communities requires that we properly prepare for the task. The Guild is an apprentice oriented training network that seeks to transform the mind and heart and develop the practical skill level of participants.
Training that aims at not only your mind, but your heart and hands toward planting the Good News of the Kingdom in pioneering mission contexts.

How you can get involved!
Each semester the Guild hosts a series of monthly workshops led by our Senior Mentors. These workshops address various approaches to reaching the least reached and require some activities outside of the workshop.
Topics and schedules will be periodically announced; check back here or sign up for our newsletter to keep up with the latest information.
These small peer groups meet up to develop practical “how to” skills in the group’s area of shared interest. For example:
Reaching a people or religious group: Muslims, Hindus, Chinese, etc
A specific skill area: Biblical Story Telling, Language and Culture Learning, Business as Mission (BAM), Prayer and Inner Healing.
