Apprenticeships for Fuller Students

For students in Fuller’s MDiv and MATM programs, the apprenticeship course is a required field education experience. Throughout their apprenticeships, students utilize the theology, methods, and ministry skills they have gained up until this part of their journey in order to gain experience as reflective practitioners. Further, apprenticeships give Fuller students an opportunity to explore, discern, and seek a deeper understanding of their vocational calling in the context (site) of their choosing. Apprenticeship students meet each quarter with their peers in an apprenticeship group, as well as weekly with a site supervisor, for the mentorship and intentional reflection necessary for transformation and growth.

This apprenticeship opened various opportunities for me to be challenged to grow in my ministry. While there were difficult moments, I have witnessed God affirming my gifts, and calling me to grow out of these experiences. The people I have worked beside and served have also affirmed my gifting in this area of ministry so I am coming out of this apprenticeship with a better sense of my calling into full-time ministry in the local church.
