1. What courses are offered?

   Basics: This is the ‘flagship’ course of the DNA and focuses on: The Kingdom of God, God's plan to redeem all things, the power of truth for transformation, Biblical worldview, and wholistic ministry. The purpose is to help Christians rediscover and live out God's purposes in all areas of life and culture. It emphasizes practical understanding and immediate application.

   Monday Church: This course explores how vocation has the potential to radically reorder our lives. Whatever your work or vocation, God calls you to a new way of living – fully in His presence and for His glory. Monday Church will provide a biblical framework for each of us to establish a meaningful, integrated understanding of our life and work.
