That is the basis of a one-week summer camp held at Stone Church in Saint John called Kids Lead.

Autumn is back-to-school season. Have you been thinking about taking a course in Christianity? Would you like to learn more to deepen your faith and energize your ministry? 

The Atlantic School of Theology in Halifax is hosting its Atlantic School of Discipleship program, a 10-module online exploration of practical themes related to authentic Christianity.  Anyone, regardless of their educational level, can sign up. It includes reading assignments and engaging discussions. (There are no exams or academic evaluations.) 

 Details may be found at https://www.atlanticdiscipleship.com/

 The series is being held on Zoom. It is open to individuals and parish or regional groups. Maybe there are others in your congregation or community (from the United Church, Presbyterian Church, etc.) who'd like to join in too?
