Student Leaders
The Experience
Entermission is committed to not just offering students a powerful experience of discipleship, but also raising up leaders equipped with the experience and ability to disciple in every area of life. We invite college graduates, those who are older and more experienced or returning students who are interested in enhancing their leadership skills to apply to join our learning community for the duration of our two semesters to help shape the lives of our students, and grow into character-centric leaders for the local church.
Resident Assistants
Resident assistants are students joining us that may be a bit older, have lived or worked outside the home, or have attended college. These student leaders will live on the dorm and serve during the first semester.
Apprentices
Apprentice is a term we use for returning second year leaders. They will lead the second semester overseas portion of our gap year as well as serving as an RA during the first semester.
This has been a space for me to walk alongside those who don't yet know their direction, improve as a leader, and explore the world. Through moments of joy and challenge, I have grown not only in knowledge but in practice and love.

RESIDENT ASSISTANT FAQ'S
Do R.A's work on Sundays?
Yes, all R.A.'s will serve on Sundays, however during the firsts semester at Johnson University, there will be programmed “time off”.
Most likely, no. The majority of your time will be either on campus at Johnson University, on the road in provided vehicles or overseas. However, transportation to Johnson University for the beginning of the program, transportation home for Christmas break, and transportation to Camp Allendale after Christmas break needs to be arranged.
Do I need a car?
What are the Ministry phases?
1 Semester - Begins at Johnson University and runs from August until December.
2 Semester - Begins in January and involves the overseas ministry components (until May).
We are a learning community—and every member, whether staff or student comes ready and open to immersive learning. We specialize in seeing people as people and not as projects, learning to engage in small-talk, becoming great listeners and storytellers. We focus on developing a sense of wonder as we intentionally engage the world, understanding that God is doing what He has always done—enter the lives and stories of his people for redemptive purposes. You will be given opportunities to lead by example, lead in prayer, lead in public speaking, and lead as you follow the Holy Spirit.
