SEU at Journey Church is set apart from traditional college experiences by offering practicums and internships through which our pastors and leaders have the opportunity to invest in, mentor and develop leadership qualities in students. This process allows students to be stretched, challenged, and developed into transformational leaders. In addition to classes, each Journey student will have opportunities to serve in several different capacities throughout the numerous ministries and campuses of Journey Church. These ministry practicums allow students to implement ongoing classroom learning in order to gain real-life experience and knowledge essential to lead with excellence in that field.
Each student will spend part of his or her school week in a supervised ministry experience at Journey Church, led by some of the best pastors and leaders. Students will have the opportunity to learn from our amazing team of pastors with many years of experience. Should our students desire to continue that mentoring relationship, we are ready and willing to encourage them in ministry.
Students are empowered to customize their learning experience by setting their own goals, benchmarks, and objectives for their personal leadership development. Upperclassman are also required expand their experience in large and small church settings alike by doing at least one year at one of our extension sites: Burlington, Beach Park, Mount Pleasant, or Vilnus, Lithuania.
