Burning Bush Revises Format
(NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 28, 2009/GBOD) — The General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) is redesigning the format of Discipleship University's core curriculum, Burning Bush, in response to current economic realities. The deadline to enroll is June 15, 2009.
Burning Bush is a unique experience for congregational teams to intentionally plan for making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. A two-year process, Burning Bush includes five weekend experiences that equip congregational teams to develop and implement a plan for making disciples of Jesus Christ in their context.
The first and fifth weekends will be held in Nashville, Tenn. The middle three weekends will be conducted at each of the participating congregations and facilitated by congregational guides assigned to congregational teams.
In light of this new format, participation is open to congregations of any size.
Congregational teams must begin their participation with the first weekend experience in Nashville. New learning groups begin approximately every six months.
