COMMIT TO COMMUNITY
Experience Authentic Community and Discipleship Alongside Other Fellows
Deep, Christ-centered community is at the heart of the Fellows experience. Through shared meals, intentional relationships, and living with host families, Fellows experience what it means to be fully known and loved.
EXPLORE YOUR FAITH
Deepen Your Faith Through Theological Training
Through rich theological study, consistent spiritual formation, active participation in local churches, and weekly mentoring, Fellows learn to think biblically, serve faithfully, and explore how their Christian faith shapes every aspect of life and work.
PRACTICE CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
Serve your City and Neighbor Well
Through weekly service, civic engagement, and hands-on learning, Fellows discover how their faith calls them to respond to the needs of their community. Throughout the year, Fellows volunteer with local nonprofits, meet with local leaders, and develop a plan to intentionally seek the good of the City through their lives after the program.
