Relational Ministry - During the week, Dwell leaders are encouraged to make at least one point of contact with a student or group of students. This could look like grabbing lunch, going surfing, getting ice cream, going to an athletic event, or attending an extracurricular activity. Relationship building is fun, awesome, rewarding, and an essential aspect of Dwell’s mission. Interns would be asked to attend either one in school outreach or one relational ministry event each week.
