Welcome to the Newsletter
This edition is full of good news: Residents and Fellows are back on campus, an alumni story shows what it looks like to live out faith in the everyday, and applications are now open for the next Ministry Leader Collective cohort. Read on for the details!
CAMPUS IS FULL AGAIN!
Students are back on campus! 11 new Residents arrived at the end of July to start classes and join the team. We also welcomed 102 gap year students for our Fellows program at the end of August! We cannot wait to see how the Lord is going to move in the lives of students on our campus this year!
Where They Are Now: Alumni
HARLEE RICH, FELLOWS CLASS OF 2020
It wasn’t a straight path that led Harlee back to the church she grew up in — but looking back, she’s amazed at how the Lord ordered every step since her days as a Fellow.
Today, Harlee serves as the Youth Minister at Rocky Mount Church and recently launched her own small business, Hazel Hat Co. What excites her most about both is the people — building lasting relationships with her students and meeting new faces th
rough markets and events with her shop. Both roles also give her room to create, whether she’s writing lessons or designing new products.
These days, Harlee is investing most in her home — not just her marriage, but creating a space with open doors for anyone who needs one. She often returns to a truth her team leaders once prayed over her while serving overseas: that even the small, unremarkable moments of everyday life are never wasted in God’s Kingdom work.
NEWS
MINISTRY LEADER COLLECTIVE
This isn’t a seminar — it’s a strategic partnership. The Ministry Leader Collective is a cohort experience for ministry leaders ready to build a discipleship pathway that lasts. This experience combines in-person intensives on our Pine Mountain, GA campus with ongoing group coaching calls. Together, you’ll build a framework for discipleship tailored to your context, all while gaining a supportive network of like-minded leaders who share your passion for the next generation.
“Students are facing some really hard topics, and hearing from other youth pastors about how our students are struggling with the same things reminds me that I’m not alone in this. If we don’t bring clarity, the culture will bring confusion.” -Laura Marvets, Ministry Leader Collective 2025-2026
Ready to build something lasting? Apply for the next cohort today.
