SO WHAT IS THE SUNCREST SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP?
The Suncrest School of Leadership is an opportunity for you to deepen your walk with Jesus and put your gifts to use in God's kingdom through an internship AND some leadership content with the area director of the ministry you choose to lean into! This can be for anyone wanting to take a deeper dive in faith! We encourage interns to pursue some level of biblical education. This could be a non-accredited program called pathways which is the most cost effective option, OR to team with one of our partners Northwest University.
Our partnership with Northwest University provides high quality online schooling and teamed with our internship provides real life, hands on ministry experience!
This partnership is with Northwest Universities NPP Program (Detailed below)
The Northwest University Partnership Program (NPP) is a unique partnership between Northwest University (NU) and Suncrest Worship that allows NU to offer associate, bachelors, and masters degrees with the highest level of accreditation as an integrated part of Suncrest Worships Internship / Leadership development program. Through the NPP, students earn college credits toward AA, BA and MA degrees that can be completed at Suncrest Worship School of Leadership's NPP, at NU's Kirkland Campus, or even transferred to another public or private college or university! All while students serve in this local internship program. The NPP combines what NU does best (academics), with the ministry training we do best (internships), all in the highly-supportive relational environment of our church!
Don't forget that undergrad ministry majors get 50% off tuition!

WHAT DOES AN INTERNSHIP LOOK LIKE?
Well, that depends on where you feel God leading you!
If you don't feel a leading to a specific area, we recommend doing a "serve team tour" where our team leads will work with you to serve one month at a time in each ministry area learning some of the ins and outs so that you can determine which area fits your passion and gifting most.
If you feel a calling to a specific area:
Year 1 | Your area lead will have you jumping in to serve in a variety of ways throughout the year focused on personal growth, leadership development and service.
Year 2 | You will continue serving in your Focus Area but will get many more opportunities to lead in a variety of ways within that context!
