Apex Summer Leadership
Apex Summer Leadership delivers hosting leadership, gospel and missions training, and disciplemaking ministry at our group sites.
Apex Summer Leadership is a collaboration of both Site Leaders and the Mission Leadership Team. Apex Summer Leadership will be the hands and feet of Apex at each site through the summer. You will be equipped and trained to be along-siders with the local ministry partner in hosting the groups that are coming to serve on mission.
The Site Leader Role
The Site Leader serves on site as the Apex leader and authority for their specific site. This person will oversee the implementation of the values, resources, training, and serving for everyone on their site. This role will have both oversite and pragmatic responsibilities. The balance of these two responsibilities will depend on the filling of the MLT role and/or skills and gifting of the Site Leader.
We see this role as a good fit for any college age student exploring or pursuing a ministry/missions degree of any kind. You will get experience in many different ministry aspects as you work with your ministry partner and groups from all around the country. You will most likely be able to use this role to fulfill your college internship requirements as well. The site leader will report to the Director of Youth Missions.
The Mission Leadership Team (MLT) Role
The MLT role offers you an opportunity to learn about life on mission and build leadership skills through intentional disciplemaking relationships with high school students (and others) encouraging them in Gospel influence and training in Gospel fluency. You will serve under the Director of Youth Missions and the Youth Missions Site Leader in implementing the values, resources, trainings, and serving ministry of Apex.
We see this role as a good fit for any college age student wanting to explore a potential call to ministry/missions, wanting to have a gospel impact with their summer, wanting to get ministry experience, and/or those who just have a passion to serve in missions.
Where You Can Serve
You will be given a choice to serve at any of the Youth Missions sites. There are both US and international options.
Housing
You will stay in the same facility as the youth groups. In most cases it's an air mattress in a church. Apex Summer Leadership will get gender specific rooms assigned separate from the youth groups for time off and privacy.
