Vision
The vision of LEAD internship is to provide a 10-month adventure like no other. We desire that our students experience God like never before by giving their lives for 10 months without reservation to seek Him and all He has for their lives. Every effort is made to teach the way Jesus did through relationships and life experiences. Interns will have adventures beyond what they ever imagined, ministering to hundreds of people locally and abroad, sharpening their skills in leadership, disciplining their minds and bodies, and going beyond what they ever thought possible. LEAD is ideal for students graduating from high school; in college but not sure why; or college graduates who desire to have a season of life dedicated to God before they begin their careers.
LEAD is designed to disciple, train and equip young leaders for life through a variety of fun and exciting adventures, city-changing outreaches, missions, dynamic classroom teaching, physical training, worship, prayer, fasting, Bible study, and active involvement at Church of the King. LEAD begins every August and lasts for 10 months. We believe that experiential learning is more powerful than classroom teaching only. Luke 2:52 states Jesus’ growth process in four areas: Wisdom, stature, favor with God and men. These four areas of growth make up our Mission. Growth in these areas will help our students live their lives to their maximum potential.
God’s instrument for the fulfillment of the Great Commission is His Church. As students participate in this internship alongside the staff at Church of the King, they will gain an in-depth understanding of the local church. In Acts 20:20, Paul describes our approach to a life-giving church. He talks about teaching publically, which we do through our weekend services, and teaching house to house, which we do through our small groups. Interns will have extensive experience and training in all areas of Church of the King. Every LEAD intern will grow in the four areas mentioned in our Mission, and at the same time, they will experience the joy of building new friendships; experiencing new depths in their relationship with God; travelling the world on global missions; seeing the value of a healthy and life-giving local church; and grasping the power of living life to the fullest for God.
If you are up for the challenge, come join us for an incredible adventure. We believe at the end of it, you will see the world from a new perspective and realize you aren’t who you were when you began.
