Alex Abramo serves as an intern in the Leadership in Disabilities program at Arrowhead Bible Camp (PA). She transferred from a large Christian university into Anchor Christian University, with a degree completion map that will finish with an master’s degree in Organizational Leadership degree from our other partner school, Clarks Summit University. Most importantly, she is building a robust resume and toolbox for her dream… to launch a nonprofit art studio that serves adults with developmental disabilities. Our conversation covers a range of topics from the story God is writing with her life, her ministry, and her journey through college to date.
A conversation with Ben Myers, Director at Arrowhead Bible Camp. Topics include their Christian gap year (The Launch Initiative), ministry internship program (Leadership in Disabilities), and developing emerging leaders sustainably over time.
Many ministry leaders are transitioning their training programs to offer academic credit and degree pathways for their students. If you have a ministry internship, a Christian gap year program, a church residency, or other similar training program, you may be considering doing the same.
Emerging leaders have a host of options when it comes to professional training and ministry education. Bible schools and seminaries of all types and sizes have long been a trusted resource for those seeking ministry training. In more recent years, ministry internship, Christian gap-year, and church residency programs have grown in popularity and there is increasing demand for more frontline training programs. But rather than choosing between the academic and ministry training environments, why not offer a model that includes the best of both? Doing this will set you apart as a training program and give your students more complete training to launch them into ministry and leadership.
You are missing out if your church residency or ministry internship program offers resume-quality experience employers are looking for but does not offer college credit or degree pathways. And your students are missing out, as well.
You may discover that you can attract higher quality candidates when they can earn credit or even complete a degree while attending your program.
We help ministries design, build, and manage custom, academic-grade training programs to successfully launch the next generation of faith driven leaders, and connect them to accredited degree program pathways.
