Our seminars, programs, and resources—rooted and grounded in the Bible, God’s Word—emphasize developing the whole person: mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. In all that we do and offer, we desire for people to experience the transforming power of the gospel, which empowers them to change the world in ways that honor God and contribute to humanity’s flourishing.
God calls every Christian to both lead humbly and serve confidently, and in this way follow Jesus’ example (Mark 9:33–37). Christians lead and serve like Jesus. They display His character to the church and to the world around them (Philippians 2). They lead and serve with Jesus by participating in His work of justice and mercy—for everyone but especially the marginalized and oppressed (Psalm 103). And they lead and serve toward Jesus, declaring and demonstrating that He is the most beautiful and most worthy of praise (Psalm 145).
Christians follow Jesus’ pattern of life when they serve confidently and lead humbly, because their identity is in Christ—not what they do.
Christians boldly and humbly pursue God’s glory and people’s good, because Jesus is with us always (Matthew 28:18–20). He is not dead, but alive, and His life brings light to darkness, peace to chaos, justice to injustice.
Christians point people toward Jesus, because He is Savior and King. Jesus brings the dead to life. His kingdom is without end and without comparison to anything found in this world.
Our REAP journals guide you in a method for studying the Bible that begins with close reading and concludes with prayer. Other resources include prayer and liturgy books for winter and spring, and workbooks that address Christian doctrines, foundations of the Christian faith, and marriage.
Lecture videos come from The Austin Stone Development Program, an eight-month program dedicated to Christian doctrines and spiritual disciplines. The lectures can be complemented with the Doctrines & Disciplines workbook.
More to It, ASI’s podcast, provides in-depth explorations of various topics. The first season finished in September 2022, and concerned reframing emotions from a biblical perspective and through healthy habits. More to It: Reframing Emotions was created in partnership with The Austin Stone Counseling Center.
We invite professors, theologians, authors, and other speakers to lecture on topics ranging from ethics and parenthood to apologetics and reading. Check out past seminars with the recordings.
These are short events, usually held in the evenings on weekdays or Saturday mornings. Seminars are affordable and feature biblical teaching and skills-based application from a variety of speakers, such as counselors, pastors, and professors.
The Austin Stone Development Program is an eight-month program dedicated to Christian doctrines and spiritual disciplines. It employs cohort-based learning, along with homework and regular assessments. By learning and practicing to share what has been taught, participants graduate from ASDP with the confidence and humility necessary to have conversations and lead lives that honor God and bless other people.
Residents receive training in doctrine, character, and skills; supervision from an Austin Stone staff member and the Residency Program directors; and real-world ministry experiences at The Austin Stone. Available residencies differ from year to year but normally include opportunities in Kids and Students Ministry, Creative Ministry, Women's Ministry, College Ministry, and congregational leadership. While the area of ministry may vary, every residency focuses on three things: theological training, community formation, and skill development.
