The River Anglican Church Fellows Program is a nine-month, post-college experience that provides:
Discovery
A time for you to discern God’s leading about your call and vocation with the help of experienced Christian ministers.
Spiritual Growth
A place to grow spiritually by following Jesus more closely and knowing yourself better (e.g., your gifts, strengths, weaknesses).
Mentored Ministry
An opportunity to get involved in a ministry you are passionate about, all while growing and being challenged.
Theological Development
A chance to learn both through formal graduate studies and personalized mentor-directed studies.
Who is the Fellows Program For?
Recent graduates who are exploring a possible call to ministry (overseas missions, seminary, local church ministry, etc.) but need a time and place for greater discernment.
Previous Fellows have gone on to full-time seminary, ministry, missions and others to non-religions vocation. The Fellows Program can help you clarify your next steps.
