Students will have the opportunity to shadow our pastors as they minister to our church through prayer, discipleship, and community.


DISCIPLESHIP.

Learn how to develop a culture of community and growth within a church body. Students will get hands on experience preparing small group experiences and discipleship opportunities for all ages.

Find and develop your passion to take your faith outside the walls of the church. Students will get to see first hand through Central Christian Church's many outreach ministries the power behind serving the community around you. Students will learn how to partner with mission partners both locally, state-side, and globally.
