As part of your apprenticeship you can use your talents to Serve God, for a year or longer.
What Are The Apprenticeship Tracks?
Tracks are an additional opportunity within the Pais Apprenticeship for those who want to use a particular passion, gifting, or skillset as part of their ministry and mission.
Whether your interest is music, sport, theatre, operations, or a mix of areas, Tracks allow you to develop your gifts and use them to reach and disciple others. Rather than stepping away from the core apprenticeship, Tracks build on top of it.
All apprentices still participate fully in the core Pais experience, including church placement, school ministry, mentoring, outreach, discipleship, training, and community life. Tracks simply provide additional coaching, projects, opportunities, and specialist input connected to a particular area of interest.
Each Track includes:
- Specialist coaching and mentoring
- Opportunities to use your skills in real ministry settings
- Specialized hangouts and collaborative spaces
- A practical project connected to your Track
- Additional training and ministry opportunities
Some Tracks may require an audition or portfolio. All Tracks are subject to availability.
