THE WAVES
Next Wave Leaders is divided into two distinct waves: Intern and Staff. These waves are intended to develop individuals, where they currently are, in order to achieve their long term goals. Both waves receive similar opportunities and group leadership access such as Staff Chapels, Culture Class, Preaching Huddles, Next Wave classes, etc.
The Intern Wave is the onramp to what ministry is like for those who feel called to vocational ministry. This wave will include but is not limited to what’s stated above, as well as participating in NPP to receive an AA, BA, or MA.
The Staff Wave is for those who are on staff at New Life participating in NPP to receive higher education; AA, BA, or MA.
BEYOND THESE WALLS
Both waves will be encouraged to participate in at least one New Life Church local or global outreach.
