Be Changed By The Word

You are lovable, valuable and capable

To Change The World

Your past doesn’t define you

And Become A Disciple-Maker

You’ll be equipped for a life of discipleship

Paul Galbraith ’12

Pastor, Brandywine Community Church

“This is a pathway to become a world changer for Christ. It transformed my relationship with Christ and took me to new levels of effectiveness in discipling others in my church and around the world.”
John Gauntt ’09

Pastor

“There is no other opportunity like this. Almost ten years after our discipleship program we still pray for each other and hold each other accountable. We were changed by the Word to change the world, and now we’re living it together.”
Luke Griffith ’14

Student, Texas A&M University

“Band of Brothers in Christ changed my life and equipped me to be the man I am called to be. The eternal impact cannot be denied or ignored.”
Matt ’08, MA, LMHC, LMFT

Therapist at New Life Counseling

“God used this ministry to challenge me towards a higher moral standard and deeper connection with Him. Through this God redirected my life-calling. The guidance and discipline it provided strengthened me and equipped me for marriage and was a catalyst in developing the spiritual leadership in me that now directs my family and ministry.”
Taylor ’14

Student & Chocolate Factory Assistant Manager

“The examples of transparency and regard for the Word that continues to be modeled to me through Band of Brothers in Christ has shaped my outlook on leadership and inspired me to further the Gospel. I now know I can change the world.”

What Makes HigherTrek So Different?

Discipleship training is hard to find, especially for single young men in their formative years. Youth groups stop at the end of high school, and most young-adult ministries begin after college. But what about those critical years in-between? HigherTrek equips young men for a life of discipleship through a Christ-centered training program that guides them into becoming the men God created them to be, to change the world.

We know how difficult it can be transitioning into adulthood and we understand the serious challenges today’s young men are facing. Quite honestly, it is normal to wrestle with tough stuff when you’re growing up. But when you receive discipleship training your life in Christ will gain meaning and direction and you will become the man God created you to be.

Our programs are led by a team of ministry and marketplace leaders, from pastors to corporate executives. We have helped young men from ten countries and 23 states deal with some of the very issues you’re struggling with – and now, they are disciples, actively changing God’s world. Teaching at our programs are missionaries who have changed countries, marketplace leaders who have developed Christian curriculum for the corporate sector, and authors who speak around the world. Their Biblical teaching and life experience becomes a building block for your transformation.

During your discipleship experience, you will experience adventure and transformation while making lifelong friendships. You will: 1. Discover how the Bible tells you to figure out God’s plan for your life and what you should do about it. Including your own plan and a call to action. 2. Learn how to study God’s word and teaching others to do the same. 3. Find your role in your local church. 4. Understand what it looks like for you to change the world today and 20 years from now. The Band of Brothers in Christ discipleship training program will help you become the man God created you to be, to change the world.

You are the future of the church. You can live a lifestyle of discipleship and change the world in ways you have hardly begun to imagine. Think about the lives you could impact; once you receive discipleship training your faith will grow, as will your character and integrity. Come to the Band of Brothers in Christ discipleship training program and spend three weeks investing in the rest of your life. Why? Because God created you to change the world, and more than ever, the world desperately needs you to be who He created you to be.

Scott Adams

“My investment in Band of Brothers in Christ is earning compounded dividends as the Brothers change the world by impacting their friends, co-workers, and mission fields. When I think of Band of Brothers in Christ I think of Acts 1:8 “you will be my witnesses . . . to all the ends of the earth.”
