Servant Leadership

We've found that our Fellows naturally prioritize leading by serving the greater good. We hone those skills daily by always putting others first.

Being a Fellow at Barnabas Prep has been such a positive challenge for me this year. The Holy Spirit has taught me so many things about being a Godly leader and most importantly, a man of God. I am so thankful that God allowed me to come to Prep and work with the amazing students and Fellows and go from not knowing each other, to being a close-knit and Christ-centered force for change.

Getting to work at Barnabas Prep as a Fellow has been such a sweet and transformative season in my life! I dearly love the community of Prep and am grateful for the lifelong friendships I have made over the years. It has been such a joy getting to invest in the lives of the students and watch them grow in independence. I am so thankful the Lord called me to Prep, it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience and one I will never forget!

There is so much I could say about my time as a Fellow, but to sum it up, it has been the most heart-softening and fun opportunity of my life so far. The students have taught me so much and are such a joy to be around, the other staff are kind and supportive, but the best part of our job is getting to see the Lord come through day after day. I am very thankful for my time here and wouldn't trade it for anything.
