Our Internship Program exists to develop next-generation leaders for the 30 in 30 vision and offers fully accredited ministry degrees through Grace College. This is the largest opportunity for new leaders to get their feet wet at one of our campuses and be trained for full-time ministry. Funds raised through this campaign will allow us to support our current interns and expand the future program.

This program combines three basic elements of discipleship in a dynamic and interactive curriculum. First, students will be trained in the Bible and earn a Seminary degree. Secondly, students will develop competency by applying their academic training through Ministry Leadership opportunities under the close guidance of a pastor or director. Thirdly, students are encouraged in the growth of character and coached through the practical aspects of Christian life. We currently have two full-time residents.

Grace College Akron offers a 4 year Bachelor of Science degree in Biblical Studies. This fall, here at the Norton Campus, we began offering seminary classes for students pursuing Master’s level Christian education.

The 360 Program is aimed at high school students creating intentional opportunities for equipping, discipling, and ministry experiences. Our desire is to raise up an army of Christ-Followers who are not only grounded in the Bible but wholeheartedly love God and passionately engage in his mission to the world around them-this will be our greatest legacy. 10 Norton Campus students participated in this program last year.

Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and undernutrition. Hunger causes nearly half of the deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, we estimated at least 6,2000 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMCS is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs, reduce problems with malnutrition and allow children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential.

The Norton Campus has hosted FMSC Mobile Pack events since 2010 and in that time, we have packed 1,531,440 meals which were distributed across 10 different countries. These events provide a unique volunteer experience for people of all ages and walks of life to join together to feed starving children through this campaign.

American Indian Missions, Inc. is a faith-based ministry dedicated to reaching Native Americans with the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to become His disciples. They teach and train disciples who then, in turn, reach others, thus fulfilling the Great Commission. The ministry is run by Roger and Kathy Scarbro sent missionaries of the Norton Campus, who have worked with Native Americans for the past 20 years.

Our hope through this campaign is to provide a new well for Dusty Pines Camp, the headquarters of AIMI’s ministry.
