Training Series ACCD's Training Series for the general public consists of the Discovery Seminar, the Breakthrough Training, and The Clearing. We also offer the One Accord Workshop for married couples. Each of these unique experiential events are designed to produce maximum transformational growth in a short period of time. The Clearing is available to Breakthrough Grads only. The Discovery
Seminar is a unique, interactive, lecture and small group based experiential
program. Running for three days, the Discovery Seminar is a tool--a meditative
clearing where participants examine their attitudes and belief systems in
light of what God has said through His Word. The goal of Discovery is to
equip participants for radical transformation so that they can live the
full and productive life that God intended. The Breakthrough
Training gives participants the opportunity to discover and realign the
belief systems that govern their lives such that they experience a transformation
in their ability to love others as Christ loves them, liberating their consciences
to fulfill God's unique purposes for them with freedom, passion, and power.
Within this overreaching purpose, specific objectives include: providing the
tools to discern and integrate feedback from others; improving communication
skills; overcoming bitterness and other relational blocks; seeing possibilities
beyond automatic reactions; forgiveness; releasing creativity; connecting vitally
with what matters most; expressing love in a way that it is experienced by others;
appreciating different points of view; becoming internally motivated towards
an abundant vision for life. The Clearing
is a two-day training opportunity designed for Breakthrough graduates. Participants
explore distinctions and disciplines for creating a space of possibility
in their lives and for others, building on the principles they learned in
Breakthrough for living in the unprecedented future and gaining further insight
in the future worth having that they desire. Being a clearing entails
creating a clearing for someone else. Each of us is a unique 'clearing,' invitation,
and environment for others. The Clearing is for participants who want to more
fully discover and examine the clearing they are for others in order to re-design
and re-align it with their goals and vision in relationships. The One Accord
Workshop is a three day experiential marriage workshop designed to demonstrate
how God uses the covenant of marriage to accomplish His purposes in us as individuals,
in the Church, and in the world. In The One Accord Workshop, through teaching
and directed experiences with your spouse, you will have the opportunity to
take a look at the tremendous possibilities within your marriage. Participants
rediscover their need for each other, learn how to engage conflict
creatively, explore the connection between emotional intimacy and physical
intimacy, and redefine their vision together for living in one accord. Other Organizations of Interest: The Gap Training is a four-day experiential workshop that provides a series of powerful, challenging experiences designed to draw youth, age 14 - 18, into a closer relationship with God and the people in their life. They learn by doing, not just by sitting around note-taking and listening to lectures. This active learning style will helps give them the confidence and insight they need to overcome the limiting beliefs and difficult circumstances that prevent them from achieving their goals and dreams. The training contains introductory topics, interactive exercises, sharing, and an AWESOME ropes course challenge! The Gap Training is open to teenagers ages 14 - 18.

For information on how to register, please contact them at info@gapyouth.com GAP Youth Training Services, Inc. was founded in 1998. Jean-Marie Jobs was working with the Association of Christian Character Development (ACCD) when, in 1997, they decided to release their youth program. GAP Youth Training Services was born. With the agreement of ACCD, Jean took the existing workshop and created a separate corporation dedicated to youth work. She pooled her efforts with several pastors and psychologists to revamp the workshop and tailor it specifically for youth ages 14-18. The workshop is designed to address identity, purpose, individuation and connection needs, and development. The focus of the workshop is loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself in practical, every day terms. In addition, GAP Youth is committed to supporting family relationships by fostering a deeper sense of intimacy, honesty, appreciation, and gratitude between youth and their parents and siblings. GAP Youth Training Services, Inc. is a California 501C(3) non-profit corporation headquartered in Santa Rosa, California. Learn more about
