Pastoral:

As a Pastoral Apprentice, you’ll see the ins and outs of life in ministry and what it takes to be a pastor. You’ll get priceless time shadowing staff pastors where you’ll learn necessities such as sermon writing, pastoral care, running a service, and empowering others. You’ll grow in your communication of God’s Word by speaking in different environments, as well as leading teams and projects throughout the church and community.

Worship:

Whether you feel called to be a worship leader or simply want to strengthen your natural talents, our worship track will stretch your leading abilities and musical skill. As a Worship Apprentice, you’ll have the opportunity to lead worship-related projects and learn firsthand what a lifestyle of worship truly is. While serving on the worship team and meeting with staff worship leaders, you’ll learn essentials such as songwriting, creating a setlist, and how to lead the band.

Production:

Do you have a knack for directing, an ear for audio, or an eye for creativity? Our production track will teach you sound mixing, light programming, and equipment training for all things production. Beyond directing services, you’ll be equipped with invaluable leadership and team-building skills.

Administration:

We all know that church doesn’t only happen on the weekend; it’s the culmination of days and weeks of preparation and planning behind the scenes. Our administration track is geared toward those who find joy in event planning, organization, and making services the best they can be.

Graphic Design:

Want hands-on experience with the digital side of church? Our graphic design track will give you practical training and practice within our Graphics & Video Department. Learn using programs such as Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.

Children’s Ministry:

If your passion is to see our future generations know Jesus, this is the track for you. You will serve and lead alongside our East Coast Kids staff, creating life-impacting events and services for babies, preschool, and elementary kids alike.

You need to select a track so you can fill out and submit an application.  Next, start preparing to submit a short video showing you leading a project that benefits your church or your community (we'll send you more info on that after you apply.) Finally, you will be interviewed for the spot. We have limited spots per track. You will also need a passport because you will be going on a Discipleship Training Trip! You will need to provide your own way to Merritt Island. Please be prepared to grocery shop for yourself. We allow for you to have a part-time job. However, it cannot hinder your 20 required hours of serving in the program.
