Indigitous STEPS is a 6-week virtual program designed to provide pathways and community to the digital specialist who desires to use his/her unique digital skills (code, craft, design, draw, strategize) for the Great Commission. The program seeks to equip participants to take significant steps forward in their calling, character and technical competence. It aims to connect participants to followers of Christ who are experts in the digital and technology field, missional projects at the intersection of ministry and technology, and practical ideas on how to continue to grow. Indigitous STEPS will be a collaborative environment focused on influencing the next generation of professional Christians with a vision for #digitalmissions. Some will be cross-cultural missionaries to the nations, some will be missionaries in Silicon Valley, some will be missionaries in their universities and families; what we will all have in common is our passion about sharing Jesus and serving his purposes using digital strategies.
