We use all sorts of different discipleship methods, including Bible study, worship and individual check-in time to make sure each student is thriving. Immerse is more than just a quick sermon once a week – we’re looking for students who want to deepen their faith, serve God in a Christian community, and have a ton of fun while doing it.
What is Immerse?
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.
If a spring or summer in the Immerse program sounds like something you want to explore, reach out to us – we’d love to connect with you!Â
