Teaching them to obey all that He commanded.
The 2820 Institute trains people to go first — pioneering global church planters, and the churches and leaders around them, equipped to make missionary disciples with practical, biblical training drawn from decades of church planting on five continents.
“…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20
Formation for the whole church.
The Disciple-Making Journey
An eight-week formation centered on Matthew 4:19 — the entry point into NAMS that forms ordinary believers into missionary disciples within their own congregations.
The 52-Week Guide to Church Planting
A year-long cohort led by Jon Shuler, founder of NAMS — the discipline, theology, and practical craft of planting faithful churches that plant again.
Coaching & mentoring
Life-on-life coaching that walks with planters and leaders well beyond the classroom — personal mentoring from those who have done the work, for the long obedience of faithful ministry.
