what does immerge do?
Definition of "immerge" - to pour into, completely mix with, to dive in.
Immerge Network pours into leaders (age 16 to 30) as they pour into their callings, communities, and peers.
- Provides peer communities for mutual support and development based upon similar callings
- Mentors and coaches in disciple making, leadership development, and capacity building
- Resources them with accessible and affordable training options
- Connects emerging leaders with the broader North American church and highlights their stories
- Advocates that they be embraced, their callings resourced, and their influence welcomed
The world is already being served by this generation. We're ready to notice them earlier and better equip them
