RPGM Explore
Explore God’s purpose for his church in reaching the world. Develop a vision for how the church at home can send, support, and mobilize people to reach the nations.
WHAT IS IT?
A course for people in the church that explores God’s heart for the nations and the many different ways that we are called to be a part of missions. We want to help our participants capture a vision of God's glory among the nations and of how they can live in such a way that wherever they are, they are working to see him glorified among all nations.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Those who want to know how to be better “senders” from home, and those who want a starting place for considering doing cross-cultural missions. It is also required for all our short-term team members.
We also offer RPGM Explore in a Sunday School format.
TIME COMMITMENT: Approximately one hour of online curriculum study work per week plus a weekly one-hour online facilitated cohort video call.
COST: $150 ($25 discount for CMAs)
UPCOMING EXPLORE COHORTS
Each cohort meets for 8 weeks.
