can I attend the intensive and work or go to school at the same time?

The Intensive is a full-time commitment for 10 weeks, so we do not allow for you to have other part-time or full-time commitments such as work or school during the program. The many aspects of the program offered will require a 40 hour work week, which make it unmanageable for you to take on other commitments. We want you to have the energy, time, and focus to make the most out of this season as well as balance rest and other priorities in your life.

Currently the housing we provide is in the form of host homes. Our intensive team works with you to coordinate with other believers, that are usually in our spiritual family, to host you for 10 weeks and provide a room for about $350 a month plus a security deposit. The full amount of rent for 3 months is due on the day interns move in.
