Three phases. One journey. All online.
Whether you sit in the sanctuary on Sunday or join Embassy from another city, every new member walks the same three-phase pathway. All of it is delivered online, with live Zoom sessions available if you want to connect with the instructor and your fellow new members in real time.
Pastor Teri Miller, our New Members Sheepfold Pastor, shepherds you through the whole journey. When you graduate, you are assigned to your permanent Sheepfold Pastor for ongoing pastoral care.
Growth Track
Five on-the-same-page sessions on the foundations of Kingdom life — understanding the Kingdom, repentance and baptism, apostolic order, covenant and stewardship, and the gifts of the Spirit. After completing these foundation sessions you will progress to Discipleship Reformation.
Discipleship Reformation Course
Eight weeks of pre-recorded teaching from Bishop Hugh, live Zoom class sessions with Elder Mark Hansel and the Discipleship Reformation Team, and weekly reflection to take what you're learning off the screen and into your life. Ends with a graduation ceremony where you are recognized by Bishop Hugh, Pastor Letha, and the Sheepfold Pastors.
Ministry of Helps Course
Twelve weeks of live teaching and a live-service practicum where you begin serving in a real role while you learn. Opens the door to consistent service across Embassy's ministry departments.
Discipleship Circles
After the new-member journey, formation keeps going. Discipleship Circles is Embassy's ongoing one-on-one and small-circle mentorship environment — open to every member of the house, new or long-standing.
Honest answers to common questions.
How long is the service?
Sunday gatherings run approximately 90 minutes — worship, the apostolic word, and a clear invitation to next steps.
What should I wear?
Come as you are. You'll see everything from suits to denim. Embassy is a covenant community, not a fashion show.
What about my kids?
Kingdom Kids meets during the 10am gathering for children ages 6 months through 10 years — age-appropriate, expository Bible teaching while you worship. No pre-registration required.
Do I need to register before I come?
Walk-ins are welcome. If you'd like us to greet you personally, fill out the Plan Your Visit form and our team will reach out before Sunday.
Can I just watch online first?
Yes. Sunday gatherings livestream at 8am and 10am ET on YouTube. Many digital disciples engage Embassy fully online before ever visiting in person.
What kind of church is Embassy?
Embassy is an apostolic governmental house and Kingdom nation, a covenant community ordered by the ascension gifts, anchored in scripture, and built to form Kingdom citizens.
