What Fellows Do

DEVELOP PROFESSIONALLY  

Fellows spend significant time focusing on the intersection of faith and work. They work three days per week in paid professional work placements, gaining valuable work experience in areas of focus such as marketing, finance, education, real estate, communications, marketing, start-ups, and non-profits. Through seminars, graduate-level classes, and individual coaching, Fellows learn how to add value to an organization, think strategically about work, and cultivate their own talents in a professional setting. 

GROW IN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING

Much of the program is designed to help Fellows contextualize every area of life to the Gospel. On a weekly basis Fellows take part in small group studies, hear the spiritual journeys of men and women in various careers and life stages in the Charlotte community, and gather to process everything that they are experiencing. Fellows also complete two graduate-level courses: the first on redemptive history and personal spiritual growth and the second on the intersection of Gospel, career, and culture. 

WORSHIP TOGETHER WITH GOD'S PEOPLE

Fellows worship together weekly at our partner churches. Pastors, professors, and others meet with Fellows, helping them understand and experience the blessings of corporate worship.  

EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY

In addition to cultivating authentic, life-giving friendships with one another, Fellows build significant friendships with their host families, mentors, coworkers, church members, and people throughout Charlotte. By year's end, Fellows have a multi-generational community of friendships to enjoy for the rest of their lives. 

EXPERIENCE HEALTHY, CROSS-CULTURAL MINISTRY

In this day and age, our country is more divided than ever when it comes to issues of race and discrimination. To that end, Fellows spend a week in Chattanooga learning about healthy cross-cultural community development. What they learn can then be applied in any urban context.
