Abiding Fellows
Fall 2024 Abiding Fellow Applications Now Open!
Abiding Fellows is one of the many ministries that make Abiding Presence a unique congregation. Abiding Fellows are 10th-12th graders who enter into an intentional leadership development and faith formation program. Abiding Fellows serve as elementary Sunday School workshop leaders, Summer Camp Cabin Leaders, participate in worship and music ministry, and more.
Abiding Fellows is a stipend program. In other words, students get paid. As a church, we think investing in young people as leaders and followers of Jesus is one of the best uses of our resources. Abiding Fellows get valuable work experience and a taste of “adulting” in an environment that is supportive.
Through their experience as an Abiding Fellow, 10th-12th grade students will have opportunities to:
· grow in their relationship with God,
· spend time thinking about vocation through the lens of faith,
· connect with peers and the Abiding Presence community in meaningful ways,
· develop authentic inter-generational relationships
· gain valuable leadership and work experience
