ADVENTURE DTS

For the wild at heart and the seekers of more.

The Adventure DTS is where faith meets thrill—designed for those who crave an epic journey with God while embracing the adventure of life on the Gold Coast. Surrounded by ocean, mountains, and a vibrant city, you’ll dive into a season of spiritual growth, wild exploration, and life-changing community.

Over 11 weeks, you’ll be equipped through powerful teaching, personal discipleship, and living in a Christ-centered community. You’ll learn to hear God’s voice, deepen your relationship with Him, and discover your identity and purpose in His story.

But it’s not all in the classroom—we take the adventure seriously. Think skydiving, surfing, day trips, waterfalls, theme parks, hiking, and more. These aren’t just adrenaline rushes—they’re moments to connect with God, each other, and His creation in unforgettable ways.

Then comes the 9-week outreach phase: it’s time to take what you’ve learned and bring it to the nations. Whether it’s serving in remote villages or urban centers, you’ll be stretched, inspired, and used by God in powerful ways.

This is your invitation to a life of bold faith, deep discipleship, and wild adventure. Are you in?
