Apprenticeship
Description
Our apprenticeship is a yearlong experience walking with us as we practice our calling to be a people as close knit as Jesus is to his Father. Apprentices should expect to be challenged through our lifestyle, practices, and the relationships that will form through the year. For those who feel like church community may be what God is calling them to and want to explore church community longer term, the apprenticeship will lay a foundation. For those who don’t wish to continue in church community, the apprenticeship will be a valuable experience.

Elements of the Apprenticeship
The Apprenticeship starts at our Fall Retreat (in early September) and ends in July. Apprentices live together in a church flat as a household and are a mini-community inside of Sojourners.
