We are extremely excited about offering our Summer Staffer Program! For years, former students have come back to serve as summer staffers while they are home from college, but it is possible that some students may have missed out on the opportunity because they were not familiar with Summer Staffers and the impact they can have in a Student Ministry.
We believe that the Summer Staffer Program will be an opportunity for college students to gain valuable ministry experience, become equipped for future ministry, and grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
MINISTRY TRAINING
Our heart for each college student that joins us for the Summer Staffer Program is that they would grow in their love and understanding for God's word and, in turn, their ability to teach it to others. We will offer key times of training each week to give Staffers a better grasp of the major themes of scripture, how to study scripture in depth, and how to teach scripture to others in a truthful and applicable way.
Josh will spend time each week talking to Staffers about the specifics of what it is really like to do full-time ministry. We hope to give each of our Staffers practical tools to equip them for a life of ministry that will serve them and others well for years to come.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
Each college student involved in the Summer Staffer Program will have the opportunity to help us lead and execute both our Middle School and High School summer ministry. This will include service activities at KIPP Academy in East Nashville, assistance with our weekly Middle School and High School program The Edge, leading a weekly small group Bible study, and tons of chances to invest relationally in the lives of students.
COMMUNITY
There is nothing quite like getting to do ministry in the context of team. The Summer Staffer team will get the opportunity to deepen friendships as they serve together, learn together, and share life together in accountable, encouraging relationships.
