hands-on ministry training meets theological studies
By the end of the apprenticeship you will have the character, tools and know-how to join an existing campus ministry team or pioneer a new work on campus.
Our Campus Ministry Apprenticeship (CMA) is a full-time, self-fundraised program that provides training for campus workers.
The CMA is an opportunity to learn and develop the character and competencies necessary for a calling and mission among post-secondary students. It will include Biblical and practical ministry education, character development, and a wide variety of skill acquisition required for campus ministry service.
Learn and grow under the care and mentorship of veteran men and women in
ministry who have modeled fruitfulness and godliness.

"We believe in being lifelong learners. This apprenticeship is for people who are looking to take their academic studies into the real world, putting it all into practice daily.”
"I love inviting our university grads into discerning a call to campus ministry through our apprenticeship. They are the most qualified candidates we have because of their experience of doing ministry on campus as a student. With its mix of theological study, hands-on practical ministry, and guided discernment and feedback, our apprenticeship is an excellent way for them to have a taste of full-time campus ministry as they discern what God may call them to."
