Rooted Discipleship School

Discipleship School

The Rooted Discipleship School is an opportunity to set aside a week with God and, in the context of community, go deeper in your relationship with Him.

Our heart is to create a culture of family where everyone feels safe to be real, known, and loved. In this space we can step more fully into the freedom Jesus has won for us, discover new ways of connecting with God, and be equipped with tools that help us follow Him wholeheartedly for the long haul.

A key focus of the week is the heart journey—giving God permission to go beneath the surface and do the deep work only He can do. With numbers limited to around 15 delegates, we aim to build trust together and encourage vulnerability, courage, and raw discipleship.

Throughout the week, we’ll spend time worshipping Jesus, opening His word, and unpacking core Kingdom foundations. We’ll also prioritise welcoming His presence and learning to respond to His voice, because ultimately we want to meet with Him.

Alongside this, we’ll share meals, enjoy unhurried conversations, and make space for rest, fun, and genuine connection—because discipleship is as much about real life together as it is about teaching.

If you’d like to be part of this adventure, simply click Apply Now and complete the application form. One of our team will be in touch for an informal chat. We can’t wait to see what God will do as we set aside this week for Him—it will surely be more than we could ask or imagine.

With much love,

- Wendy & team

At King's Arms Church Blunham - High Street, Blunham, Bedford, MK44 3NN

(Blunham is in a village about 20mins outside Bedford).

If you want to come by train, be aware of needing to sort out transport to get to Blunham.

If transport is an issue for you we can try and put you in touch with others travelling from your area to see if they have space in their car. If you’re applying for the week and you’re willing and able to offer a lift to others, please let us know.

There are two options for accommodation for the week:

1) You can find your own accommodation.

If you choose this option you will pay less to do the school.

2) We can try and find accommodation for you – either with people in Blunham, the surrounding villages or in Bedford.

If you choose this option your place on the school will cost £75 more. This money will be given to your hosts to contribute towards your stay.

Please note: We can't guarantee that we'll be able to find you a place to stay. We will allocate accommodation on a first come first-served basis. If you stay outside the village you'll need the use of a car. It might be that you'll end up having to sort out accommodation for yourself.

We have two ticket options:

- Without accommodation - £250

- With accommodation - £325*

*Accommodation can't be guaranteed. If we're unable to find you accommodation we'll refund you the £75

Can I pay for my ticket in instalments?

Yes! If you are successful in getting a place on the school we ask that you pay a £50 non-refundable deposit to secure your place, within 7 days of your acceptance. The rest of your ticket balance can then be paid in full or in instalments. Please make a plan with the Rooted team as to how you’d like to do this. Your place must be paid for in full by June 17th 2025.

Can I sponsor someone's place?

Absolutely - just get in touch by emailing wendymannequip@gmail.com and reference the Rooted Discipleship School.

We are planning on catering for the week – please pray for us ;)

The current plan is to have some breakfasts, all lunches and most dinners together at the venue. Some breakfasts you will have with your hosts, or if you're sorting your own accommodation you'll need to provide your own breakfast for some mornings.

On Thursday evening you'll have a free evening to have some downtime. Dinner won't be provided but there are takeaway options for you to order food to the venue. Alternatively, you could eat with your hosts that evening. We really want our meal times to be key moments of connection and deeper discipleship.

This plan might change slightly as we sort out more details, but we'll keep you posted if that's the case.

Yes indeed.

The £50 deposit you pay to secure your place is non-refundable. However, we are able to refund all other monies in full, up until and including 17th June.

If after this date you're no longer able to attend the Rooted Discipleship School, please get in touch with us asap. We won't be able to guarantee a full refund, but we will do what we can to reimburse some money to you. It might also be possible for you to transfer your place to someone on a waiting list and, therefore, have all money returned.
