DISCIPLE LIKE JESUS DID. TAKE THE Intentional, intimate, and immersive discipleship model of jesus and apply it to your life. become transformed from this process just like the 12 disciples.

Our founder, Dr. Phillip Fields, was rescued from an abusive home at the age of 17 by a retired high school principal named Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson took him into his house. Through his mentor's intentional care and accountability, he was transformed. He went to a prestigious Christian college, started working in ministry, and married an incredible woman of faith, Darlena.

His life was forever changed. This is why Dr. Fields is so passionate about discipling the next generation. He wants to take the intentionality and one-on-one mentorship model done for him and the model of Jesus discipling the 12 and make that a reality for young adults.
