Elmira Discipleship Ministries
The Elmira Discipleship Ministries is home to School of the Heart. An in-depth discipleship training We get hungry, and we eat food. We get tired, and we sleep.
But what about our hearts and souls? How are we caring for them? Do you remember the last time you asked yourself - How is my heart? How am I thinking, feeling, and responding to the circumstances in my life? And most importantly, what is God wanting to speak into my heart in these places? As Christians our hearts are now Christ’s, but often after salvation, we don’t give our hearts another though
Our Story
Located in Elmira, NY, this is the place for young adults to dream about the life they were destined for, and be launched into that dream.
Students of the Elmira Discipleship Training School will be immersed in a Christ-oriented Kingdom culture that will direct them towards a lifestyle of intimacy with Jesus, and understanding their royal identity. Intimacy always leads to ministry, so residents will be equipped to serve in a number of ways in the local community.
The goal of the school is to transplant young adults into an environment where they can experience an accelerated time of Spirit led transformation. During the school year students will commit to weekly "rhythms" (schedules) that will equip them to:
a. Encounter God regularly through His Word and prayer. This will no longer be laborious work and take excruciating effort.
b. Live in their royal identity as sons and daughters of The King.
c. Live in humility and surrender. Humility is the fertile ground the Holy Spirit matures people.
d. Know offense and be set free from its trap.
e. Use their gifts for the building of the Church. This will include commitment to a local church (continuing at their local church) where they will regularly serve.
f. Bless the community. Regular first hand ministry to the community will include nursing homes, children's clubs, house parties (outreach), street blessings, prison ministry, college campus acts of love, prayer walking, block parties.
g. Listen to God and obey God.
h. Pursue a Kingdom vision for their own life.
Students can be in school full-time or working full-time, and can possibly be a full-time student and part-time employee.
