Shaping Young Leaders

Hands-On Ministry Training

The Fellows Program (formerly the Residents Program) at Perimeter Church exists to equip young leaders for vocational ministry. We use practical, hands-on ministry experience as a platform for ministry skill development.

The one-year program includes theological training, exposure to life-on-life missional discipleship, mentorship, and a full-time job within one of the ministries of Perimeter. Our hope is that each fellow would be sent out well-equipped to serve the local church.

How It Works

Distinctives

Here is the core of what you’ll experience as a Perimeter fellow.

Discipleship

Perimeter’s mission is to form gospel-rooted disciples of Christ who make and train disciples. As a fellow, you will get to experience this firsthand both by being in a discipleship group and having the opportunity to lead others.

Ministry Immersion

The work of a fellow is important and purposeful. As a fellow, you will work within crucial roles to ensure you grow in your skills and abilities, and the ministry of the church can function to most effectively impact God’s kingdom.

Cohort Culture

All fellows are placed in a cohort of other fellows. We believe we are not meant to labor alone, and the cohort provides a place for you to be equipped to follow Jesus and flourish in His kingdom.

”Discipleship has brought me closer to friends I already had as well as allowing me to meeting new friends. The content and talking helps me deepen my relationship with God, my friends and my leader. The experience has showed me that people do care about the problems in my life and offer advice to help me. D-Group is informative and fun because on occasion my group gets dinner together and discusses how our week went.

Garrett Johnson

”Through seven years if being in the discipleship program at Perimeter, I have experienced a tremendous impact on my spiritual life. It has enabled me to be far more open and personal with other believers who are both in the same stage of life, or maybe a few ahead sharing their wisdom to me, than I ever would have had otherwise. It allows for a personal and continuous sense of accountability and trust. It allowed me to tackle hard questions and challenge my faith so that it can grow in ways otherwise not possible. Without my group of guys, only God would know where my faith would be today.

Luke Hamilton

”Our generation longs for community, seeks for it, and often does not feel satisfied by what they encounter. Discipleship is a beautiful blend of deep community and sweet accountability. My group has been such an encouragement as I have navigated the mountains and valleys of high school. Being a part of discipleship will also serve as a foundation to my church-seeking as a college student. It's the balance of reading a book/participating in curriculum and doing life with a group that made discipleship such a sweet part of my life.

Elisabeth Harrell

”This year my group started reading Loved Walked Among Us, by Paul E. Miller, because my leader felt that it would speak into our lives and begin to stretch us in our faith. Through this book and the use of intentional questions from my leader, discipleship has pushed me in my relationship with Christ. It has given me the opportunity to watch and be led by someone who is more mature in their faith than me so that I can follow in their footsteps and be made uncomfortable in my faith so I have nowhere to go but deeper.
