IMMERSE
Equipping you with the tools you need to grow in your life in God.
IMMERSE is a part-time young adult internship (18-35 years old) designed to renew a vibrant heart for God by giving yourself a season set apart for the Lord to strengthen and refresh you as a believer. You will be challenged through powerful Bible teachings, you will be surrounded by godly community, and you will be given the tools that you need to really grow in a life of prayer. The part-time schedule is very reasonable even for those with a full-time job, school or other responsibilities. Interns are strengthened through weekly times of training, teaching, and relationship building and are immersed into our community through weekly attendance of our Encounter Service. Additionally, interns sign up for four weekly prayer meetings (they choose which ones) which creates a unique environment to grow in relationship with their fellow interns, TPR's community, and most importantly with the Holy Spirit. Immerse yourself into a life of prayer, authentic community, the Word of God, and a season set apart to know Him deeper.
What to expect:
Learn how to grow in a lifestyle of prayer, encounter God in your Bible reading times, hear His voice, see Him move through you, and discover what God is doing in this generation. We want to provide you with a season to inspire you and awaken your heart to go deeper in your life in God through provoking classes, weekly discussion groups, and daily times of prayer.

Course Components:
Prayer Room
Our prayer room is the center of our base and time spent in God's presence is always one of the most impacting components of IMMERSE. Interns consistently tell us they were marked by the Lord through the concentrated time spent in the prayer room each week (8+ hours).
Awakening
Awakening is your weekly theology class with teachings focused on drawing your heart closer to Jesus through the Word of God. You will be both challenged and strengthened in your walk with God by these provoking classes.
Equipping Tools
The Equipping Tools Class will be the most practical part of your week as you receive instruction about real-life ways to strengthen your prayer life, enjoy your time in the Word, love God more wholeheartedly, and learn how to minister to people. Then you will spend time together in class applying what you just learned.
End Times
The Intro to the End Times Class will help provide you with a broad understanding of the end times. This is a very important subject for this generation to engage in as it becomes increasingly more clear that we are living in the decades leading up to Jesus’ return.
Group Discussion
The Group Discussion Class is a laid-back time together with your fellow interns talking through various Bible passages. The objective on these nights isn’t to get through the verses, but rather to enjoy the journey together as you discuss biblical themes related to prayer and knowing God.
Community Nights
Community Nights are fun and are intended to be an encouraging time each week for you to connect with your fellow interns in a more personal way. These nights provide a small group feel and allow you to share what God is teaching you and pray for each other.
Sample Weekly Schedule
*Students choose four prayer meetings to attend per week (sample above shows the faculty's suggested prayer meeting times).
Pricing:
Tuition for a semester of IMMERSE is $350 and includes a non-refundable $75 application fee. A weekly meal together is included in your tuition. *Discounted Rate for Current Staff ($200) & Previous Internship Graduates ($75). For those who are coming from out of town, we apologize that we do not have housing available at this time. You will need to arrange your own accommodations.
Program requirements:
The Prayer Room is a parachurch organization, not a local church. We are grateful to be in partnership with churches all across our region and we require that our interns attend their home church weekly. If you do not have a local church, we can help you find one that fits you, as we know many great ones in the area.
