LAUNCH Description
The LAUNCH program is a Leadership Program that Hidden Acres began in 2009. It came into existence as a result of observing our young adult generation and their “wandering” in life following High School. We noticed a lack of leadership, direction, and a plan for their life. So, needless to say, LAUNCH was developed to assist these individuals with some of those “delays” in life.
LAUNCH begins in August and ends in May. It is a working-education program. Students will attend classes on biblical leadership beginning with the basics and continuing on up to practical application in a working environment. The other half of their day is hands on work. We hope to spark an interest in an area of work or ministry by working side by side with our permanent staff.
Our desire is that the students involved with LAUNCH leave the program with three things accomplished. First, a level of maturity that can handle any of the bumps in life that might come. Handling relationships, finances, work expectations, and a life desiring to follow Christ in everything. Second, that they may understand the importance of being a leader wherever God might send them. That they would follow the call that God has set before them. And third, they might have a desire to pursue a career, schooling, or ministry in something that they have a new found interest in.
