Discover the wonder of God
Discover and experience this hidden gem tucked away in our beautiful Pacific Northwest! Explore the splendor of the Olympic Peninsula with its lush rain forests and waterfalls, rugged coastline and wild ocean beaches, and magnificent Olympic Mountains, while freshly encountering the Creator in new depths.
Ignite your passion for God
In the midst of this outdoor wonderland, you will discover more of God, the world He loves, and who He created you to be. Allow God to stir up the passions and dreams you carry in your heart and experience His heart for all nations.
Engage in God’s Mission
Discover and gain the skills needed to fulfill YOUR part in God’s story around the world through creative ministry, meeting practical needs, and bold evangelism.
The Lecture Phase is spent at our beautiful campus, located across the Puget Sound from Seattle on a bluff near Port Townsend, overlooking the Olympic Mountains and Discovery Bay.
During this 12-week training period, each week experienced international teachers will speak on a specific foundational topic, mentoring you in knowing God personally, hearing His voice, loving His Word, sharing your faith, relationships, and world evangelism. These weeks also include worship, small groups, local ministry and ongoing outdoor adventures in the surrounding Olympic Peninsula.
The second half of your training will include an overseas outreach of 8-10 weeks, discovering God’s heart for the nations and applying what you've learned. Our main focus is the Asia frontiers, so most of our teams go to those nations, such as Mongolia, China, Thailand and India, but other nations are options also.

"My DTS was a life-changing experience. I found out so much about myself, and experienced the power of God in a way I never thought possible. I'd recommend a DTS to anyone -- young or old."

God moved in my Life during DTS! The greatest things God did for me was give me direction for the next season and He showed me how he can take my brokenness and shame use it for his glory. He gave me words I could hold onto in the midst of the darkness and battles, words of identity and calling.
