“The Future Leaders Program isn’t any ordinary internship. It is character building and will stretch you in all sorts of ways. You may be an “intern”, but you are definitely in a position of leadership. You will learn lessons in the Future Leaders Program that will benefit you for the rest of your life.”
-Rachel Fabian, Class of 2008

The Future Leaders program is definitely the experience of a lifetime.”

“Okey and I got to travel to Egypt during our internship year. I’m confident both of us will always look back on our time in the Future Leaders Program as one of the best years of our lives. I truly believe in this program because of the enormous personal and spiritual growth I experienced through it.”
-Brandon Buckner, Class of 2007
“My experience has been amazing! The program is a great way to dive in if you are interested in full-time ministry. I have had the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with some of the top leaders here at McLean Bible Church as well as unforgettable experiences at national conferences like Urbana and mission trips all over the world. The program is great for developing leaders!”
-Okey Nwoke, Class of 2007
The core of what makes the Future Leaders Program different is the time spent with the other Future Leaders. You’ll spend time developing leadership skills, learning about the core values and culture of McLean Bible Church, applying fundamental principles of ministry and interacting with other ministries and leaders.
“I’m so thankful for the relationships I’ve formed and developed this year. I’ve learned from some of the most talented people I’ve ever met from all areas of the church, I’ve made friendships that will last into eternity, and I’ve learned some hard lessons from people who have shown genuine care and love for me. For all those things, I am eternally grateful!”
