The Event
Qualifying GoStrategic events are held in numerous countries around the world as well as virtually. These events are open to all and serve as a prerequisite for graduation from the School of Kingdom Citizenship. The goals of these events are to equip and inspire attendees and connect them relationally with peers and leaders. Please contact info@gostrategic.org to learn about upcoming events.
Structure
GoStrategic provides curated group assignments to enrolled students, taking into account such factors as time zone and demographics. These small groups convene every other week via video/phone conferencing (or in person where feasible) to discuss, process, and apply the lessons under the guidance of a vetted and trained facilitator. The meeting schedule for each group is determined by the facilitator at the course onset with consideration to participants’ schedules and availability. Students complete the course work online, with a two-week timeframe allotted for each lesson. The estimated time commitment of study per lesson is approximately 2-3 hours, which encompasses listening to the teaching, completing the reading assignment, and submitting homework.
Relational Grounding
We are committed to fostering community under the firm believe that God builds relationally by joining together the hearts of individuals. Our mentor-based model is critical to the success of the course. Our desire to see students work with a facilitator is based in our conviction that genuine transformation in a person’s life takes place in the context of spiritual relationships with others. The role of the facilitator is to encourage and challenge their students as they work through the materials. Facilitators are graduates of the school, have completed additional facilitator training, and remain under the oversight of our Directors of Facilitation.
