“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Luke 2:52
The Bible urges us to give our all to advancing the Lord’s work here on earth. However, even Jesus journeyed through a season of preparation before His ministry began. For that reason, we focus specifically on the following four areas.
SPIRITUAL
Students deepen their Christian walk through:
- Constant Discipleship
- Worship and prayer times
- Weekly Bible studies
- Monthly times of fasting
- Scripture Memory
- Teaching from New Life Staff + Pastors.
INTELLECTUAL
Students sharpen and renew their minds through:
- Stimulating Courses
- Reading assignments on a wide range of books
- Engaging discussions of current issues
- Hands-on learning in different cultures
- Worldview Training
PHYSICAL
Students strengthen and discipline their bodies through:
- Daily Workouts—Activities including swimming, biking, running, sports, weight training, and Pilates
- Eco Challenge–A 2-day team adventure race consisting of hiking, biking, rappelling, and rafting in challenging terrain. It is an absolute blast!
- Ironman Triathlon—That’s right 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run. Each year, Cadre Academy students go the distance, as they challenge their mental and physical endurance.
SOCIAL
Students deepen their relationships with peers, leaders and church members through:
- Growing in understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses
- Developing honest, life-giving, meaningful friendships with fellow students
- Living in an environment built on openness and trust
