NVLC

The Traditional Track is for anyone interested in exploring a calling to vocational ministry or wants to give a year to intentionally growing in ministry giftings. This track requires students to be present for 20-25 hours per week which include Sunday responsibilities, classroom hours and practicum hours with an assigned ministry department during week-day hours. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

The Traditional Track is a *paid internship experience.* Traditional students will receive a $200/week stipend. All fees are covered. These students serve as an extension of the NVC staff and are only permitted to be absent for four Sundays throughout the duration of the program.
The Non-Traditional Track will pay a tuition fee of $800. This tuition fee covers the cost of all course materials (including Berean enrollment and five Berean courses). All other course fees are covered.

NVLC Orientation will be held in mid-August and classes will officially begin in late August. Fall Semester will run from late August to mid September. Students will have the week of November 25-30 off for Fall Break. Spring Semester will run from early January to mid May. Students will have a week off in mid-March for spring break. A complete schedule will be available later this summer.

Each candidate will start the process by filling out an application. Once the application process is complete, the NVLC team will contact the student to set up an interview. Applications are due June 15th, so you can expect to hear back from us by then.

Employment at NVC is not the goal of NVLC. Our goal is to train, equip, and release students into a life of fruitful and effective ministry, regardless of whether or not vocational ministry is the next step. Employment at NVC is not guaranteed. Our desire is to help students identify and grow in their callings and boldly step into the next season of their life and ministry.

Stephen Glasser serves as the NVLC Director. He serves as the Discipleship Pastor at Northview Church and is passionate about seeing people live their everyday lives to the fullest, ultimately walking in their God-sized calling and purpose. He has six years of experience overseeing and leading ministry training programs (Chi Alpha Campus Missionary in Training Director - 2015-2019 and Northview Internship Director - 2022-current).

The Non-Traditional Track is for anyone who are interested in exploring a ministry calling or desire to grow in ministry giftings, but have limited availability due to work obligations and season of life. This track requires students to attend nine in-person evening training sessions, participate in a monthly cohort with other NVLC students, and serve at least two Sundays per month with an NVC Dream Team. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

Non-Traditional students may inquire about financial aid, but nothing is guaranteed. We do permit Non-Traditional students to pay tuition a semester at a time ($400 due at the start of each semester).

We encourage Traditional Track students to pursue a part-time job during the NVLC program. We aim to be as flexible as possible, however, we require students to be available for core training activities: Sunday (7am-1pm), Monday (9am-4pm), and one other on-site day (to be arranged by Ministry Director).The Non-Traditional Track was designed for individuals who work full-time or have full-time responsibilities at home. The schedule for both classes and cohorts will be established with this in mind.

No, it is not. NVLC does not allow students to gain credit hours that are transferable to any other university or college. Our students are enrolled in Global University’s Berean School of the Bible, which allows them to pursue ministry credentials through the Assemblies of God. NVLC emphasizes practical training as a core strategy for development and training.

A primary aspect of the NVLC program is the Berean School of the Bible courses. Students will complete courses such as Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, Christ in the Synoptic Gospels, Introduction to Hermeneutics, and more. Classroom trainings will dive into theological topics, biblical studies, practical ministry training, and spiritual formation. NVLC classes are taught by the NVC pastoral staff and guests.

Traditional Track students will complete two hands-on practicums and one placement with specific ministry areas. Students will complete two 6-week practicums, providing them an opportunity to explore ministry interest, calling, and ability. During the second semester, students will experience a Placement, in which they hone in on a ministry area based on a combination of their desire and ability as well as the insight of the NVLC team.
Non-Traditional Track students will work closely with NVC Dream Teams of their choice to gain practical experience and grow in leadership. Students will work with NVLC leadership to identify these areas based on their desire and ability as well as the insight of the NVC pastoral team.
