– YEAR 1 –
Personal Discipleship
Get equipped to love God and love people
Start Your Journey
What will your life look like one year from now? SPIRIT exists to lead you deeper into the heart of God so you can live like Jesus! We offer interactive classes and daily video teachings to help you master the Scriptures. You will then be challenged to practice what you learn in weekly activations. You’ll go beyond theory and begin walking in mercy, prophecy, stewardship, forgiveness, healing, intercession, and evangelism!
You won’t be alone in your journey. We will connect you with experienced mentors and pastors who can advise and encourage you. Our team is excited to help you establish lifelong patterns of intimacy with God and ministry in the world!
At SPIRIT, we don’t believe discipleship should be limited to specific times, places or ages. Whatever your work schedule, your college courses or your family demands, we provide a flexible pathway for growth. The secret place of God awaits you. Leave spiritual complacency and dryness behind for good—join our family and pursue Jesus daily!

Pastor David Lien
Pastor David loves beautifully crafted stories, whether in a good movie or great book, but especially loves the greatest story of all, the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Having given his life to Christ as a child, he rededicated his life to Jesus as a young man, and now gives his life to helping others see and experience the glory of God. Operating in a strong evangelistic anointing, Pastor David is a preacher and teacher whose heart longs for people to come to the Lord, and to return to the Lord. He wants to see people live in a way where they are able to be their true selves, and to be free from the comparison and competition that rob so many people of joy and fulfillment. His life has been transformed completely by the love of God, and he desires to display that transforming power to give others faith for their own transformation.
