Classes
The Isla Vista School of Discipleship (SOD) is a nine month program that parallels the UCSB quarter system. The vision of SOD is to train and equip people to fulfill the Great Commission. Our focus is to know God, to develop Christ-like character, to love His church, and to live a lifestyle of evangelism in all we do.
The IV School of Discipleship (SOD) serves as a mission base located in Isla Vista. SOD is interdenominational and affiliated with many churches throughout Santa Barbara. Housing is available in conjunction with the classroom and outreach phases of the program.
Classes combine both theory and practice, joining vital educational principles with real life situations.
These were some of the classes taught the last two years:
- Spiritual Formation - Celebration of the Disciplines
- Relationships: The Essence of Life
- Living in the Covenantal Kingdom
- Basic Christianity 101
