WANNA LEARN MORE?

In LTN, I couldn't hide from my community. I was exposed. This was the best thing that could ever happen to me.
EllisIntensive Alumni

I was dragged way out of my comfort zone, but that is exactly where God wanted to take me.

LTN definitely challenged my worldview. It opened my eyes to what is actually important in life.

SERVICE

As a part of the LTN Intensive, you will be able to support the work of one of our nonprofit ministry partners by serving with them 3 days per week throughout the summer. You’ll have a chance to get to know the work of the ministry while also getting hands-on experience and building relationships with the people being served. You will also have time set aside to build relationships with neighbors and even throw a block party at the end of the summer!

COMMUNITY

Spend the summer living in a house with up to 20 other teammates. Learn what it looks like to live with care, intentionality, boundaries, and love for others, even when you’re living in a tight space. By living in intentional community with other Christians, you’ll experience purpose, grace and love in ways that will ignite your faith. You’ll enjoy a daily life with other young adults who share your commitment to love God and each other.

DISCIPLESHIP

Grow your faith by learning what it looks like to live like Christ in modern culture. Develop your faith by studying curriculum, practicing spiritual disciplines regularly, and being a part of a local church. Have the opportunity to listen to teachers and panels on a wide variety of issues including racial reconciliation and the church, where the gospel meets LGBTQ, and more.

As a part of their summer of urban missions, LTN Intensive members serve the community by interning with one of our nonprofit Service Site partners 21 hours per week.
