Spiritual Formation Classes

The mission of the Emerge Leadership Academy is to help students Discover Clarity, Develop Character and Deploy Calling.  The Spiritual Formation Classes will address the questions:  Who am I?  What am I Becoming?  What do I do?  These classes will be taught by staff pastors and other church, community or business leaders.   This curriculum will include books such as “Celebration of Discipline,” “God’s Armorbearer,” “Fathered by God,” “The Dream Giver” and others.  The education process will also include outside lectures and leadership development from guest instructors.

Emerge Base Tuition:       $3,300.00

Checks should be made payable to Destiny Worship Center and the memo section of the check should be left blank.  Due to the rigorous schedule of Emerge, there is not an opportunity to have an outside job.  Therefore, it is very important for students to have a sufficient source of funds for their personal needs, auto insurance, gas and have no outstanding debts.  We recommend that students start the internship with $1000 to $1500 of personal savings or support.

Housing

Students will live on the Emerge campus in designated male and female dorms.  The campus will have a Resident Director on site and each dorm will be staffed with a Resident Assistant as well.  Dorm life will consist of common living areas for fellowship and relaxation; bathroom and laundry facilities; and designated sleeping rooms.  The campus is complete with a recreation hall, interactive library and prayer chapel.  Students will need to provide their own linens.

Passport

Emerge students are required to have a valid passport by orientation weekend.  Passports must be shown at orientation for verification.  Students may request that the Emerge office hold their passport for safe keeping.

Insurance

Emerge students are responsible to provide health insurance effective for the duration of their stay at Emerge.  This insurance should cover travel outside of the United States.  While at Emerge, one will be considered a student which may help reduce insurance too.

Transportation

Emerge students are not required to have their own vehicles but it does help.  If a student has a vehicle it must be in good running condition.  Students will be driving from the Emerge campus to the church, gym and other ministry opportunities and activities that are in the Destin area.  Students that do have a vehicle must have a valid drivers license and proof of auto insurance.

Dating

The nine month Emerge experience is designed to allow students to focus their heart, soul, mind and strength on loving Jesus and seeking Him first and most.  Therefore, we require students to end any dating relationship that they are in before joining Emerge as well as refraining from any pursuit of the opposite sex during the year.
