Why Byron Bay?
It’s a unique experience
Our DTS seamlessly blends learning and hands-on experience, giving you plenty of opportunities to reflect on what you’re discovering and put it into practice in your everyday life. You’ll be an integral part of our vibrant community, where you’ll connect in small groups, receive one-on-one mentorship, join local outreach projects, and so much more.
But that’s not all – you’ll be immersed in the laid-back, welcoming atmosphere of Byron Bay, a charming surf town that’s full of travellers living the surf and road trip dream. Picture yourself soaking in the beach vibes, learning to surf, and unwinding at a sunset drum circle on the beach. It’s an experience like no other – we can’t wait to have you join us!
Lecture Phase
Your first 3 months
Our Summer Vibes DTS begins with three months of Lecture Phase. In this time you will grow in your relationship with God as each week you journey with Him through lectures, community, local outreach, small groups, personal discipleship, prayer and worship times.
Some of the main lecture topics include: Character & Nature of God, Communication with God, Father Heart of God, Missions, Holy Spirit, Lordship of Christ, Relationships, Evangelism, Identity, Conflict Resolution.
Local Outreach
Your first 3 months
We are located in Byron Bay, a beautiful surf town on the East coast of Australia. It’s known as a very spiritually open place and a vacation & surf hot spot!
Lots of backpackers and surfers come through here every year and are easy to connect with! There is such a great opportunity within our own town that throughout the lecture phase we will run outreach events like schoolies or Impact Summer to connect with travellers and surfers, here in Byron Bay.
Global Outreach
Making God Known
During your lecture phase you will find out which specific countries and projects you will be able to join for your overseas outreach.
Many of our teams have gone out to East Asian countries like Indonesia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, and Thailand. In more recent years, we've also had teams in other nations such as Turkey and India. Who knows where God will call you! Are you ready to go?
