NBA XPLOR Accepting Applications

How can we help young adults recognize needs at their very doorsteps and then live a life of faithful response?

NBA XPLOR is a faith-based, 10-month, congregationally-hosted residency program designed for 21 to 30 year olds looking to explore lives of care and service — giving them the opportunity to unleash their own potential, while positively impacting their community.

NBA XPLOR partners young adults with Disciples congregations and the communities which they serve to impact: neighborhoods, the congregations, and the young adults.

With NBA XPLOR, residents will live in a diverse community of peers where they will engage in communal and personal spiritual practices ranging from prayer to simple daily meals together. They will relate to a Disciples-host congregation as well as care for and learn from others in community-service internships.

At the very heart of NBA XPLOR is a desire to cultivate a heart for care in young adults.

This work is part of NBA’s mission to assist Disciples in developing networks of care that join systemic-justice work with direct care and action.
