Students will meet on Wednesdays from 4:00pm - 8:30pm (attending NXT Wednesday night service is part of the IDT commitment) and Sunday nights from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. This time will include prayer, worship, small group discussion, and some of the best speakers from around the world!
The 2009 IDT Sessions are scheduled for the following days:
Wednesdays: June 17, 24, July 1, 8, 15 & 22
Sundays: June 28, July 12 & 19
Every IDT student chooses a track of personal study. Tracks are meant to encourage the learning of basic Christian truths and disciplines, while providing hands-on experiences to make those truths meaningful. Some tracks are designed to challenge specific age groups, so we've included a brief description of each track to help you decide which track is best for you!
Students in this track will discover why the honesty, frustration and jubilation of the book of Psalms has made it the songbook of faith for thousands of years.
RD Week: June 17-20.
This is the perfect way for our incoming freshmen to get a jump-start on their high school experience. Have fun and be challenged to be a Christ-follower from the book of Luke!
RD Week: June 24-27.
John's Gospel is the most accessible and most profound of all the Gospels. Students in this track will experience Jesus through the eyes of the man who knew him best.
RD Week: July 8-11.
Romans is considered to be the Apostle Paul's masterpiece, and one of the finest works of all time. Be introduced to this revolutionary book that has shaken civilizations!
RD Week: July 8-11.
Genesis is foundational to understanding the covenant relationship between God and his people. Students in this track go back to the beginning to go deeper in their faith!
RD Week: July 15-18.
Acts is the story of how the Good News about Jesus spread from a small group of misfits to turn the whole world upside down! Discover again why that message is still powerful today.
RD Week: July 22-25.
Students in each IDT track will have the opportunity to spend four days and three nights together hanging out, learning, and experiencing hands-on opportunities to put their faith to work! Activities include serving in the community, daytime sessions especially for their track, hanging out at the beach, and celebrating it all with a trip to Chicago's Gino's East for some deep dish pizza! Students every year say RD Week is a highlight of the IDT experience! *
