TWO TERMS, 
ONE UNIFIED EXPERIENCE

The 6-month Trailblazers DTS experience is split into two unique terms; Lecture Term and Outreach Term.

During Lecture Term passionate and insightful lecturers will bring Biblically-based teaching on who God is, who you are, and how to live your calling. We’ll also engage in worship and prayer, 1-on-1 mentorship, group processing, exploration, and outreach across Niagara Falls. Our emphasis is on personal transformation, not just head knowledge.

Outreach Term focuses on answering the call of the Great Commission, activating the knowledge you gained and the gifts you discovered in a cross-cultural context. You and your outreach team will lead various projects that bring the Gospel to people in a way they understand, providing care and justice to the isolated and forgotten.

FROM NIAGARA FALLS TO THE NATIONS

From Niagara Falls to the nations, DTS is a challenging and powerful experience of seeing people encounter Christ.
