IDT Tracks and RD Weeks
Phillippians is the Apostle Paul’s letter of joy! Paul wrote this letter while in prison and you will be challenged this summer to have joy in the midst of trials and pain, and to stand strong in the purposes that God has for your life. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Phil. 4:4)
This is the perfect way for our incoming freshmen to get a jump-start on their high school experience. Have fun and grow stronger in Christ as you study the book of Luke!
Go back to the beginning where it all began! The book of Genesis will strengthen the foundation of your faith and reveal the heart of God and the covenant relationship we have with Him.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Allow the songbook of our faith to reveal the honesty, passion, and joy of communicating with God.
Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder then words! In this track we take an unashamedly bold look at right Christian living. The book of James will confront, challenge, and call you to a commitment of being a doer and not just a hearer of God’s Word!
God will use the willing! This summer, learn to open your heart to God and walk by faith as Ruth did, even in the midst of trials.
Experience Jesus through the eyes of the man who knew him best! John’s profound first-hand account of the life of Christ will bring you closer to the Truth and encourage you in your walk with God.

HOW IT ALL WORKS, ALL THE DETAILS & ANSWERS TO MOST OF YOUR PARENTS’ QUESTIONS!
IDT (Intense Discipleship Training) is a six-week summer program designed to give you the opportunity to build real friendships, learn what it means to be a Christ follower, and put it all into practice in creative and life-changing ways.
Here’s how it works…every student who enrolls in the IDT program chooses a track to 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 checkout the track descriptions on this website. Each of the tracks meet during every IDT session listed above. Students enrolled in IDT will have the opportunity to attend their track’s RD Week (RD stands for Resident Disciple).
What’s RD Week? RD Week is packed with tons of fun, hanging out, learning, and opportunities to put your faith to work! Some of the activities include: serving in the community, daytime sessions for your track, hanging out at the beach, and celebrating it all with a trip to Chicago’s Gino’s East for some deep dish pizza! More details on your schedule are provided in your IDT course materials that you receive on the first day of IDT. When your track’s RD Week arrives you’ll come, with your bags packed, to the Wednesday night IDT session…and then you’ll stay at the church until Saturday morning! Students should plan on staying for ALL of the RD Week activities as coming-and-going is not permitted. RD Week is optional, but it is only open to those students enrolled in that IDT Track. Every year students say RD Week is a highlight of the IDT experience…make plans to attend your track’s RD Week!
So, check out the descriptions of the tracks – and take note of the RD Week dates. You’ll want to choose a track that sounds interesting to you and has a corresponding RD Week that fits your summer schedule (you cannot attend another track’s RD Week). Tracks fill on a first-come, first-serve basis…so register early!
