Become a Centurion!
The Centurions Program prepares you to navigate today’s culture with a Christian perspective. Centurions learn how to live out their faith authentically and powerfully in the real world and are united in an ongoing and growing network of Christ-followers working together to fulfill their life callings in a mission field bigger than themselves. We would like to offer you a 50% discount on the program fee so that if two pastors from your church apply each of you would pay $500 each instead of the $999 program fee. The 2013 Centurions Program will run from September 2013 – May 2014. The deadline to submit your application will be Friday, June 7.

What makes the Centurions Program unique?
-
A focus on inward formation that results in outward actions. Discover how your Christian faith not only guides your own personal beliefs and decisions, but how it can guide your actions to make a positive, meaningful impact on those around you. 
- The combination of intellectual and spiritual formation. Centurions develop critical thinking skills, but also gain a deeper understanding of who God is, what it means to be made in the Image of God, and a broader understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
- Access to the large and growing network of Centurions, Centurions Program staff and faculty, and ministry collaborators
- Emphasis on ongoing ministry engagement, collaboration and growth.
