The Storyline Institute Application 2026 - 2027
The Storyline Institute is a one-year discipleship program that immerses participants into a deep discipleship program in the context of the local church. The program’s curriculum seeks to equip believers in three areas of discipleship—Christian Story, Christian Belief, and Christian Formation. By weaving together these three elements into a holistic approach to discipleship, men and women have the opportunity to grow in their love for God, Scripture, and His mission.
During the program, we’ll spend a significant amount of time in Scripture examining the God who came to establish His kingdom. We will also study the doctrines believers have held to throughout the history of the church and we will consider together how our participation in the Christian story invites us into a life of worship and mission. An important component of the Institute will be participating in a table group of approximately 8-10 people. Because we believe in the nature of doing theology in community, the year will be spent in conversation with the table about what is learned in class. Making a commitment to the table is a foundational part of the learning experience.
Participants in the Institute will be asked and held accountable to faithfully attend class and complete assignments throughout the duration of the program. Class sessions are comprised of lecture, table discussion, and formation exercises. Each week will hold required reading from the Scriptures and/or printed materials, as well as additional books spread throughout the course. Participants will be expected to complete formation assignments and written assignments throughout the program. The program lasts one year, with a fall semester (September–December) and a spring semester (January–April).
The Institute will take place at Storyline on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m.– 8:30 p.m. The cost of the Institute is $300 and the cost of the seminary track is $1,500. There are limited scholarships available upon request. Kid Keepers will be available for kids between birth - 5th grade. The cost per child is $100 for the year with a maximum amount per family of $200. Applications are open until June 15.
