TESTIMONIALS
What others say."Serving on summer staff gave me a practical foundation for what faithful ministry looks like, showing me the importance of intentional relationships, servant leadership, and daily reliance on God. It was an experience that not only grew my faith but also provided a clear vision for how I now coordinate and conduct ministry in Clay Center, KS. The leadership skills I developed there have directly shaped how I guide students and disciple them, preparing me to walk alongside them as they grow in their faith. This season laid the groundwork for how I approach student ministry today."

"I really loved the community I formed while doing summer staff! I also really enjoyed our times worshipping and praying together because it taught me what it looks like to pursue Jesus within a community. It grew my faith because it forced me to be fully dependent on God, and I learned how to see people well and how to pursue them like Jesus!"
