The Institute of Discipleship Seattle (ID) uniquely provides a multi-church, multi-site training approach. This allows for the sharing of high caliber instructors serving in various churches along with exposure to a variety of church campuses. Our formal training is affiliated with Life Pacific College in San Dimas, CA to provide fully accredited, biblically based and culturally relevant courses. In addition we have a strong non-formal element. This results in ID’s emphasis on three components:
Being //
 Personal Discipleship // Where the ministry person is formed
Each student grows in worship, faith, character, spirituality and godly living especially through personal mentoring.
Doing //
Hands-on Ministry Training // Where ministry skills are formed
Every student serves in the local church and out in the marketplace by loving others and serving according to their spiritual gifts, extending mercy and experiencing the supernatural (salvation, baptisms, healing, deliverance, etc.).
 Thinking //
Intensive Study // Where ministry understanding is formed
Through certified, fully accredited institute courses and other avenues for learning each student hones his or her understanding of biblical, life-giving ministry. Students are prepared to serve in bi-vocational and vocational roles in ministries, and on pastoral teams of new and existing churches that are biblically faithful, life-giving, and very relevant to the local context. Innovation in ministry (without compromise to our biblical foundation) is constantly encouraged as students engage a culture that has largely given up on the church, and lead churches that embrace the younger generations. Through LIFE Launch, High School Students who have completed their sophomore year may apply to take ID courses in order to get a head start on their college career.
Courses
Each 10-week course is held on Tuesday evenings and can be taken for credit or non-credit. A student may also earn a degree at a faster pace by completing Life Pacific College’s Directed Study or Online courses while enrolled in courses at the Institute of Discipleship Seattle.
