Activities

In addition to work, Summer Staff members participate in worship and chapel services, book studies for discussion and mentoring, and testimony sharing nights. Staff may opt to share devotionals or testimonies with all staff at breakfast each morning.

Summer Staff leaders also assess each staffer’s spiritual needs and growth. Department supervisors are also engaged with staff to create mentor relationships. Fun events and outings are planned regularly for all staff to participate in together.

God has done great things in the lives of our Summer Staff! Many alumni have gone on to attend Christian colleges, become pastors, or serve in missions.
