Summer School

by | May 6, 2014 | News

This summer Exodus Church will be hosting three interns. The interns will spend their time doing various types of “church work”, but they will be heavily focused on learning how to be an effective leader and servant to the people of the church and the community.  To facilitate this learning, we will be holding classes covering various topics that will help the interns as they pursue their ministry goals. The interns are required to attend, but we are inviting all of our church members to participate as well. You may drop in on any class, no advance commitment required. We’re very excited about our line-up of speakers and topics and we hope you can join us for Summer School.
