::about us

Houston Fellows Initiative is a leadership development and
career enhancing initiative for recent college graduates
who desire to explore a God-centered view of work, life and
culture.  

For 9 months, September through May,  Fellows receive
graduate-level theological training from Christian scholars
and community leaders.  

They apply that training through professional internships,
community outreach, church ministry and interactions with
host families, mentors and other Fellows.

::history

The Fellows Program began in Falls Church, Virginia, in 1995, for the purpose of joining young Christian men and women
together in service to their communities, and to strengthen their spiritual and professional identities.

The Falls Church Program has now graduated 12 classes representing about 155 young men and women.  Many have remained
in Washington DC, serving in government, business, non-profit and ministry leadership positions.  However, many returned to their
home states to work in ministry and the marketplace.

The program is selective, offering recent college graduates and emerging leaders in their 20's and 30's the opportunity to explore
their chosen vocation or calling within a community - a family, a church, peers, work, academia, and city.

A Fellows Program has operated within Houston at St. John the Divine, using the Falls Church Fellows Program as a model, for 7
years.  The St. John the Divine community has witnessed nearly 40 individuals transformed and becoming leaders in the Church
and within their vocation and community.
