Do you want to explore an all-encompassing Faith, nurture a heart for the Church, and awaken a hunger to engage the Culture in which we live? The Classic City Fellows Program may be for you.
What is the Fellows Program?
The Fellows Program is a post-graduate program for students interested in preparing to live God’s will when they enter ministry or work in the secular arena. The program centers around 1) studying God’s Word with accredited seminary classes 2) gaining practical experience by working at a placed internship 3) growing by encouragement in a twelve person community of like-minded fellows.
Classes and Leadership Development
In addition to the practical and experiential development associated with working for Classic City Community Church and an internship, Fellows will take an accredited graduate seminary instruction every Friday. This year’s classes are a 3-hour Old Testament Survey in the fall. In the spring there will be a 3-hour New Testament Survey and a 3-hour Practical Theology.
Internships
Fellows will partially offset the cost of their program by working at a placed internship. This internship will be a 32 hour commitment Monday-Thursday. Fellows interested in entering full-time ministry will work for the church or associated ministry program. Fellows interested in entering the secular workplace will be placed in internships corresponding to their field of interest.
Community
The Fellows program will also provide a weekly round table for the Fellows program. Classic City Church is predicated on a commitment to community and unity as a body of believers. In that spirit, Fellows will work closely with one another to disciple and sharpen each other and they prepare to pursue God’s heart for their lives.
A Typical Fellow’s Week
Monday-Thursday** is spent at a paid workplace internship, typically from 9-6. Tuesday evenings are spent with other Fellows at a Round Table Discussion Dinner.
Friday**from 9:30AM-12:30 PM is spent in class. The rest of the day and evening are free.

Sunday Fellows will facilitate the 10:30AM service and the 6:00PM night service.

Tuition and Benefits
Fellows will be expected to raise $3800 to off-set the cost of their program and additional costs for living expenses. The amount raised will differ between vocational ministry internships and workplace internship Fellows. Fellows are responsible for their own car insurance and encouraged to remain on their parent’s health insurance. Donations to the Fellows Program are tax deductable.
