Join students and collegiate Navigators staff from the Northeast region for a life-changing pre-summer experience. The Navigators Summer Training Programs are proven to be "greenhouses" for spiritual and relational growth. This summer experience will be no different!
Together, we will dig deeply into the key pieces of our Navigator calling: to know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same. We will trust God to teach and develop us all as we learn to better love, serve, and authentically share our faith. Anyone who is excited to grow in their walk with God and in community is welcome to apply!
Stay tuned for an application link and more concrete details in the months to come!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Once accepted to this discipleship intensive, you will receive instructions and support to fundraise for the program. The cost of the program includes all your lodging, meals, study materials, and fun activities!
INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY
You'll spend time connecting with and learning from like-minded individuals in an authentic and diverse community. You will gather regularly in a small group setting with your team for Bible study & deeper sharing. This team will be a major source of your growth and will challenge you in ways you couldn’t be on your own!
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
In addition to formative relationships and Bible study, you will learn other spiritual disciplines and attend various workshops aimed at helping you grow as a disciple of Jesus. The focus of this program is to prepare you to walk with God more deeply throughout your whole summer.
VISION & PURPOSE
As a part of your spiritual formation, we want to help you develop Biblical convictions that will inform how you engage with the world around you. This program will give you renewed purpose and enhance your vision of how God sees your friends, families, and coworkers and desires to use you to eternally influence them.
