Equip

refuge's summer internship starts tuesday!!! i'm so excited.

we get to choose between three "streams". media, worship, or ministry. although this is going to be a very tough decision, i think i'm probably going to do the worship stream.

i'm not really that great on either violin or guitar and i guess i'm okay at singing, but i really want to learn more about music and worshipping God. the point of this thing is to learn, right?

so yeah, i'm gonna pray about it and make sure that that's what God wants me to do.


if you've taken the roots class and want to be in on this, sign up- 'cause it starts this tuesday at 8:30 sharp!

here's the info:
EQUIP Leadership Training

Description: EQUIP is a six-week internship and leadership program for high school students. It is designed to help students grow in their gifts and to learn how to leverage their influence for the Kingdom of God. Classes will be held twice a week on Tuesdays at 8:30 am and Fridays at 2:30 pm. throughout the six weeks, on some Friday afternoons the students will participate in outreaches directly following the class.

Cost: $25 for books and supplies.

Grading Scale:

Attendance – 50%
Stream Line – 30%
Portfolio – 10%
Scripture Memory – 10%

Note: There is no letter grades assigned. A student must have an 85% final grade to pass the course.

Attendance – Every student starts the class with 50 points for attendance. Each student is allowed to miss one class without being deducted any points, with a phone call to the director before the class (Points will be deducted if the student fails to call the instructor). There are 10 class periods total. After the free miss, the first miss will cause a 5 point deduction. Every further miss will be a 10 point deduction. Points are deducted for tardiness. Note: if a student has to miss for a church related event such as a mission trip, the student will not be deducted for the miss nor will it burn up their free miss. However, the student must get prior approval.

Stream Line – Each student must choose from one of the stream lines provided at HPC (see below). Over the six-week period each student will be required to spend 18 hours in the stream line they choose. They must schedule the hours they plan to work no later than the Tuesday of the week before. At the end of the class, the student will turn in a portfolio pertaining to their ministry stream. Details about the portfolio will be discussed in class. The student will be required to read a book (cost included) that pertains to their area of ministry.

• Ministry Stream – This stream is designed for students who feel called to serve as a Pastor, administrator, teacher, leader or missionary through the local church.

• Worship Stream – This stream is designed for students who feel called to lead worship and/or serve on a worship team, oversee a tech team, or engineer a recording studio through the local church.

• Media Stream – This stream is designed for students who feel called to any of the following areas: video editing, scripting, animation, television, production, marketing, graphic or web design through the local church.

Scripture Memory – each week the students will be tested on a scripture that pertains to the prior lesson. There will be 10 total scriptures to memorize. The scriptures must be memorized in one of the following translations: NIV, NLT, NASB, or NKJV.
