What is a practicum?

It’s a ministry area where you can begin to practice leadership. It can be something you are already involved in or something new.

Some examples might include: (co)-leading a small group, heading up a ministry team of volunteers, creating a social justice action group, launching a new initiative, etc.

If you are not yet involved, you can meet with a pastoral staff member/ministry leader to discuss an appropriate place for you to serve. This can take place after you submit an application form.

Who are the mentors?

We will be providing a list of potential mentors to each participant of the program. These include SOUL graduates and other members of our community who involved in a mentoring partnership before.
