Thank you for your interest in an apprenticeship with Mercy Church and Reliant!
Our Apprenticeship program is the first step in our developmental pathway designed to help future church leaders grow and one day be sent out. It is a support-raised, summer-long program designed for people who are interested in vocational ministry and want a place to learn, grow, and serve.
Good leaders need to be able to lead themselves before they can lead others. Our Apprentices develop their character and competency with a growth focus on self-leadership.
The ideal Apprenticeship candidate:
- Is a follower of Jesus
- Is actively growing in spiritual and emotional maturity
- Has FAITH – faithful, available, shows initiative/has influence, teachable, and has a heart for people
Our current Apprenticeship Ministry Tracks are –
- College
- Community Engagement
- Connections / Campuses Students
