The Lost Mountain Institute Training Program is an eight-month discipleship program that immerses participants into deep discipleship in the context of the local church.  The program’s curriculum seeks to equip believers in three areas of discipleship – Gospel Story, Gospel Belief, and Gospel Formation. By weaving these three elements into a holistic approach to discipleship, men and women can grow in their love for God, Scripture, and His mission. The class meets once a week over two semesters. Class sessions are comprised of lectures, table discussions, and formation exercises. 
 
During the program, we’ll spend significant time in Scripture examining the God who came to redeem a people for Himself, establish His kingdom, and restore His creation. We will also study the doctrines Christians have held to throughout the church's history and consider how our participation in the Christian story invites us into a life of worship and mission. 

Christian theology's most fundamental and important claim is that God has made Himself known in Scripture. We’ll spend eight months working through major historical-redemptive events in salvation history in order to come to a greater understanding of who God is and what He has done to reconcile the world to Himself in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Additionally, we will compare how the biblical story is fundamentally different from any other story our culture tells, and we will consider how the disciples of Jesus are called to live within the biblical story. 
 

Christian belief and theology are rooted in God’s revelation in Scripture. As the curriculum moves through the Bible, significant time will be spent teaching and articulating the major doctrines of the Christian faith. We will see that doctrine, as rooted in the Gospel Story, is foundational for all disciples of Jesus Christ.

A major component of the Training Program is considering how Gospel Story and Gospel Belief function to shape and form us into the kind of people who live out the way of Christ in a fallen world. Through LM Institute, and the Training Program specifically, we hope to form people into servants, worshipers, committed church members, and disciple-makers who are fluent in the gospel.
