What If Five Months Changed the Direction of Your Life?
Discover a deeper relationship with Jesus, lifelong community, and the confidence to live out God's calling.
Five months
One life-changing decision.
"I learned how to stop hiding behind what was familiar and become the person God created me to be."
— Heart of David DTS Graduate
Maybe you've been asking yourself...
Is there more to following Jesus than this?
How do I actually hear God's voice?
What does God want me to do with my life?
Why do I feel spiritually stuck?
Where can I find real Christian community?
How do I grow in confidence sharing my faith?
You're not alone.
Many young adults love Jesus, but feel unsure of what comes next.
You weren't meant to wander through your twenties hoping you'll eventually figure it out.
(Student Story) Before DTS...After DTS...
One Decision Can Change the Direction of Your Life
Every year we meet young adults standing at a crossroads.
University.
Work.
Travel.
A gap year.
None of those options are wrong.
But very few people ever regret taking intentional time to know Jesus more deeply.
Five months may seem like a sacrifice today.
One day it may become the season you're most thankful you said yes to.
You’re not meant to figure this out alone…
At the Heart of David DTS, we've spent years walking alongside young adults who wanted more than information—they wanted transformation.
We know what it's like to wonder what's next.
We have stood exactly where you are—wanting to know God more deeply but unsure of where to begin.
That's why Heart of David DTS exists.
We have seen what happens when ordinary people give God five intentional months to transform their lives.
"My leaders really cared about us as individuals—not just as students." Grace, Previous Student
Imagine Who You'll Become
Five months from now...
You open your Bible because you want to.
Prayer feels natural instead of intimidating.
Sharing Jesus no longer scares you.
You have friends who push you toward Christ.
You know your gifts.
You know your next step in life.
Most importantly...
You know Jesus more deeply than you ever thought possible.
Who this is for
This is for young adults (18–25+) who want to intentionally invest in one of the most important seasons of their lives.
Whether you're deciding between university, work, travel, or your next step, Heart of David DTS exists to help you build a foundation that lasts a lifetime.
Here’s how we help get you there
1. Know God Deeply
Most Christians genuinely want a deeper relationship with God. They just don't know how to build one.
That's why worship, prayer, and Scripture become part of everyday life at Heart of David. Through daily practice, you'll discover that spending time with God isn't another item on your to-do list,,,,it's the part of your day you look forward to most.
Imagine leaving five months later with a relationship with God that feels alive, personal, and deep.
Here's what that looks like:
Daily worship
Daily prayer
Prayer room culture
Learning to hear God's voice
Personal spiritual habits
"The prayer room was one of the most impactful parts of DTS because it changed the way I spend time with the Lord and helped me grow in intimacy with Him." - Emma, Previous Student
2. Become Biblically Confident
Many Christians know the Bible is important.
But when they sit down to read it, they're not sure where to begin, what it means, or how it applies to their lives.
Our goal isn't simply to help you read more Scripture.
It's to help you become the kind of person who can confidently open God's Word, understand it, and allow it to shape the way you think, live, and follow Jesus for the rest of your life.
Imagine finishing DTS excited to open your Bible because you know how to study it…and because you've experienced God speaking to you through it.
Here's what that looks like:
Read through the entire Bible
Learn a practical Bible study framework
Daily guided Bible study
Read the New Testament together as a class in one day
Receive a lifetime Bible reading plan
Build a personal library of trusted study resources
3. Share Jesus Boldly
Most Christians want the people they love to know Jesus.
But fear, insecurity, or simply not knowing what to say often keeps them silent.
Our goal is to help you genuinely love people, confidently share your story, clearly explain the gospel, and trust God with the results.
Imagine leaving DTS no longer wondering, "What if they ask me a question I can't answer?" Instead, you'll have the confidence to naturally talk about Jesus wherever God takes you.
Here's what that looks like:
Learn a simple, biblical framework for sharing the Gospel
Practice sharing your testimony with confidence
Weekly hands-on evangelism alongside experienced leaders
Coaching and feedback after real conversations
Opportunities to prepare and communicate biblical messages
Public speaking training to grow in confidence
Outreach experiences that put your faith into action
"The first time I personally led someone to the Lord was in the Philippines..." - Grace, Previous Student
"I didn't feel qualified to teach... God told me to say yes..." - Emma, Previous Student
4. Discover Your Calling
Graduation isn't the finish line.
It's the starting line.
Our goal isn't simply to help you have an incredible five months. It's to equip you with habits, relationships, and practical tools that help you keep growing long after DTS has ended.
We want you to leave with more than great memories—we want you to leave with a lifelong rhythm of following Jesus, continuing to grow in His Word, and staying connected to a community that will encourage you in every season.
Imagine looking back five years from now and realizing your spiritual growth didn't peak during DTS—it continued because you had a plan, a community, and the confidence to keep pursuing Jesus.
Here's what that looks like:
A personalized 12-month discipleship roadmap
Monthly coaching and alumni check-ins
Ongoing accountability
Leadership development opportunities
Lifetime lecture recordings
Bible reading community
Alumni network
"My leaders taught me that leadership isn't about always leading the way, but eventually stepping out of the way and letting your students go even further than you did." Grace, Previous Student
5. Live On mission
Following Jesus was never meant to stay inside a classroom.
Throughout Scripture, God calls ordinary people to go….to love, serve, and make Him known wherever He leads.
During the outreach phase of DTS, you'll step into another culture and put everything you've been learning into practice. As you serve alongside local ministries and communities, you'll discover that God doesn't just work through the experienced or the extraordinary—He delights in working through willing people.
Imagine returning home with a broader vision of God's heart for the nations, a deeper dependence on Him, and the confidence that your faith was made to be lived, not just learned.
Here's what that looks like during the school:
International outreach experience
Daily opportunities to share the Gospel
Prayer ministry for individuals and communities
Cross-cultural ministry alongside local believers
Serving local churches and communities
Living your faith through real-world ministry
6. Find Your People
This is not a solo journey.
Some of the greatest growth you'll experience during DTS won't happen in a classroom….it will happen around dinner tables, during late-night conversations, on outreach, and through everyday life with people who are pursuing Jesus alongside you.
Our hope is that you don't just graduate with more knowledge.
You graduate with lifelong friendships, mentors who continue investing in you, and a Christ-centered community that will encourage you for years to come.
Imagine looking back on these five months and realizing the people you met became some of your closest friends, prayer partners, and encouragers long after the school ended.
Here's what that looks like during the school:
Small groups for deeper discipleship
Connect with your classmates before DTS begins
Weekly community nights
Bonfires and meaningful conversations
Banff adventure
Camping trips
Sports and recreation
Coffee meetups
Weekend adventures together
"I felt genuinely loved and supported..." Emma, Previous Student
