LEADERS IN TRAINING (LIT)
2027 APPLICATIONS OPEN NOVEMBER 1!
LIT 1A & 1B: Completed Grades 9-12
LIT 2A: Completed LIT 1A or 1B
Leaders In Training (LIT) is an application-only program designed to develop high school students as disciples of Jesus and equip them to serve and lead in their homes, churches, schools, and communities. This year, LIT is expanding to two levels, creating an opportunity for students to build on the foundational LIT experience and continue growing as Christian leaders.​
​
LIT 1A & 1B — Formation and Service
Completed Grades 9–12
LIT 1A and 1B continue the two-week LIT experience Lake Beauty has offered for many years. Students are introduced to a wide range of tools for spiritual formation, understanding Scripture, and servant leadership through workshops, Bible studies, team building, service projects, and hands-on ministry experiences. LIT 1A and 1B are two sessions of the same program.​
​
LIT 2 — Leadership and Ministry
Prerequisite: Completion of LIT 1A or LIT 1B
LIT 2A is designed for students ready to take the next step in their leadership development. Students go deeper in studying and communicating Scripture, discipling and caring for others, and leading ministry through mentorship, practical experience, and feedback.
​
For many students, LIT is a natural pathway toward serving on Lake Beauty's summer staff. Whether students eventually serve at Lake Beauty, pursue vocational ministry, or lead and serve in their own communities, LIT is designed to help them faithfully follow Jesus and help others do the same.
