New Venture Apprenticeships are for people with a heart for ministry who need time and space to discern their next steps.
Whether you’re in a season of transition or finding a first fit in vocational ministry, an unhurried season of learning and development can be a helpful tool in your discernment journey.
At New Ventures, our heart is to provide this space through customized Apprenticeships that help individuals determine vocational clarity through three key questions: Who is God calling me to be? To whom and where is he calling me to? And, What is he calling me to do?
We work with each Apprentice to create a customized plan thats help them grow and respond to these questions over the course of 12-24 months. Each Apprentice is paired with mentors and connected with various hands-on and other learning opportunities. We also gather annually for a Pursue Clarity Retreat with others across the country.
At the end of an Apprenticeship, an individual may choose to launch a New Venture, however this is not our "end goal" in offering Apprenticeships. Our hope—through the process of both discernment and development—is that leaders in various stages of life will be able to confidently walk into their next phase of ministry because of the clarity they achieve. For many, this will involve stepping out and doing something new in Jesus' name.
