Vision

In 24/7 Greensboro, you will become one of the greatest leaders/servants of your generation. 24/7 creates an environment to give you clarity of purpose, direction and personal potential.
The program will last for two years as you earn your associates degrees though GTCC.

At 24/7, we make every effort to teach the way Jesus did through relationships and life experiences. Students will have hands-on experience in leadership inside and outside the church. Students will have adventures beyond what they ever imagined, ministering to hundreds of people locally and abroad, sharpening their skills in leadership, disciplining their minds and bodies, and going beyond what they ever thought possible.

24/7 is ideal for students graduating from high school; college students that want to go farther faster; or graduates who desire to have a season of life dedicated 100% to God before they begin their careers. 24/7 sows in you all the foundations that you need to pursue your next step in life and for you to be light-years ahead of your peers in ministry and in the work force.

This internship will include city- impacting outreach, global missions trips, dynamic classroom teaching at Daystar and GTCC, physical training, worship, prayer, fasting, Bible study and active involvement at DayStar Church.

If you are truly up for this life transforming challenge, come spend 9 months with us and let it propel you into your future. Your world will never be the same.

Please, if you feel that this might be an interest, be praying if this is the direction that God wants you to take, please email me at Stephen@daystargso.com and we will gladly answer any of your questions. Application deadline is August 15th 2011.

Dating
* We do not allow our students to date during the program during the first year.
If you are currently in a relationship, we would ask you to stop that relationship while you are in the program.
We feel that during this program you will need to focus 100% on God so that He can reveal things to you in clarity.
We also do not allow students to date inside the program itself.
Dating and inappropriate relationships is one of the biggest push backs that we receive from the program, but trust us, the program is worth it. After you first year is over, we allow our students to be in relationships.
