International Partner Certification Training


BILD Resources (2-day workshops)

November 3–4 (All Day)

BILD Resource Workshops provide intensive training in the educational model, skill sets, and content of the foundational BILD resources. For partners, this is a part of the ongoing BILD Certification Process.

  • The First Principles Series

Paradigm Transformation Projects

November 5 (All Day)

The Paradigm Transformation Projects have been designed to lead participants through the Global Church-Based Theological Education Paradigm. The last 40 years of attempts by Western churches to renew theological education (especially in North America) have resulted in merely adapting the formal model, rather than a radical return to the "way of Christ and His Apostles." These workshops are designed to help participants carefully think through the philosophy of their programs, to make sure they are built carefully on biblical foundations.

  • The Church as Theological Education

Current Partner Workshop Options: (workshops run simultaneously)

  • The Church as Theological Education
  • The Church as Theology
  • The Church as Missions
  • The Church as a Hermeneutical Community

International Conference


Plenary Session: "The Antioch Manifesto"

November 7 (Evening) • For All Summit Attendees

Having recently completed "The Antioch Manifesto" teaching series at Oakwood Road Church, Jeff Reed will present a thorough summary of the series' concepts and ideas. The idea of the series comes from the mission model at the heart of the book of Acts. Then it builds on the Antioch tradition/school of the first 3 centuries of the Early Church and provides a challenge and pathway to build paradigms in the 21st century, based on "the way of Christ and His Apostles."


Training Track Workshops and Sessions

Summit participants will continue to participate in the workshops of their training tracks. After receiving an orientation to BILD, Friends of BILD will have the opportunity to observe some of the dynamics of the training taking place in these workshops, including the educational philosophy, the relevance of the resources, the interaction between participants, and the assessment system.
