Many churches do not have the resources to develop their own training programs. We offer our services free of charge. We assist in designing internships that will work within the context of each church. We provide encouragement and assistance throughout the internship, both to the church leadership and the intern.

There are many men who believe God is calling them to pastoral ministry who do not have the resources to move their family and sustain themselves financially through the process of getting an advanced degree. XL Ministries provides the opportunity within the context of the church for these men to gain the academic and practical training they need.

We also provide scholarships to help interns with living expenses. They will still need to work, but this often keeps them from needing to work overtime or reduces the time their spouse might need to work. Some churches are able to assist an intern with purchasing resources. For those that do not have the extra resources, we make resource scholarships available each year a man is an intern. When an intern passes his ordination, we provide a scholarship for additional study tools that will be essential as he pursues vocational ministry.

We are extremely grateful for your contribution to this ministry. We send out financial reports to contributors twice a year so you can know how we are utilizing our resources.
