We are excited that you are interested in the Antioch Discipleship School! This school has been operating for over 10 years in Norman and over 30 years in the Antioch Movement, with the same consistent goal in mind: to train up Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) disciples of Jesus – men and women who will love God wholeheartedly and who will submit their whole lives to His leadership and purposes.                       

Ultimately, you will get out of the experience what you are able to put into it. The staff will do everything in their power to develop and equip you. We have found that personal ownership in this process is key for the school to be successful for you, but you need to come into the school with a desire to grow in God.
