The Protégé Program is a 2 year residency program for emerging leaders. Our primary objective through the Protégé Program is to develop our church planting team so that we can strategically and creatively engage the world together. The Protégé Program is specifically designed to be a sending base that propels leaders toward catalyzing the movement of Jesus around the globe . . . this includes future church planters and missionally-focused entrepreneurs.

Protégé Programs take various forms, but their purpose is always to equip potential church planters for the work ahead of them through hands-on experience and disciple-making.

We are currently taking applications from college juniors and seniors for the summer 2010.

Applicants are expected to enroll in seminary education through either Fuller Theological Seminary’s or Biblical Seminary’s online degree program (similar programs will also be considered for acceptance).
