What does the schedule/calendar look like each year?
Classes are held on Monday nights from 6:30-9:00pm. There are five 6-7 week sessions with breaks in between (for instance, we break for Christmas and New Years). A weekend retreat is scheduled for the beginning of the year (typically between January and February), and graduation is near the end of May.
What will a typical night consist of or look like?
Most nights will consist of prophetic activations, encounters with God, teaching, authentic discussion and healthy community (small groups.) Activations are opportunities for students to practice what they have learned (hearing God, praying for others, sharing prophetic words, etc.) Ultimately, we will be flexible and led by the Holy Spirit.
What does homework or assignments look like outside of Monday nights?
We understand that you have jobs and family, so you won’t be overburdened with homework. This is not your traditional school with assignments or deadlines. There might be some reading or supplemental video teachings offered. Dubb Alexander offers two 'intensives' throughout the year, both of which are optional and offered online. This additional content is offered for those who are wanting 'more', but not required for those who do not have the space for it.
Do I have to be a member of Northgate Church to attend the school?
Absolutely not! We are happy to help equip people from other churches to bring regional transformation.
What is the difference between First Year and Second Year?
First Year is about the ‘roots’ of Kingdom Life, focusing on building a solid foundation of Intimacy with God, Identity, Understanding the Bible, Healthy Community and Mission. Second Year will focus on the ‘fruit’ of a Kingdom Life, as we identify, serve and lead in our spheres of influence.
What is the retreat all about?
The retreat is a weekend spent together off-site for growing and building community. We will experience the greatness of God through worship, teaching, and receiving God’s love and freedom through encounters. The retreat is included in your cost of tuition and attendance is strongly encouraged. Location and dates are still be determined, but estimated to be in February 2024. All costs associated with the retreat, aside from the travel to get there, is included in your tuition.

Do you have a program that starts in the spring?
Unfortunately, we do not. We start in the fall and because the sessions are designed to build upon one another we aren’t typically able to allow participants to start later in the year.

Can I audit a class sessions without being a paying student?
Because we are trying to build healthy community through transparency and vulnerability, we would like to limit the school experience to those that have made the sacrifice and commitment. However, we would be open to someone to audit a class or two to help them decide if they want to attend the school. Please contact the School Administrator for more information: kls@northgate.church

If finances seem to be an issue, we would recommend trying the following: pray and believe in faith, make a sacrifice in your budget, share your desire with your family and friends, and finally, talk to our school administrator.
Do you require a High School Diploma or GED?
We would prefer that you have completed High School or earned your GED or equivalency. However, please let us know if there are extenuating circumstances that should be considered.
