Fellowship Overview
This 6-month experience will begin in September 2026 and conclude in February 2027.

Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking diverse evangelical storytellers, journalists, creatives, communicators, influencers, and media specialists between the ages of 18-27. College students, recent graduates, graduate students, seminarians, and early career applicants are welcome. We are open to creatives of all stripes:
- Writers/Journalists
- Artists/Creatives
- Designers/Producers
- Leaders/Communicators
Program Details
By the conclusion of the experience, fellows will have:
- Gained wisdom and practical insights from storytelling and creative professionals,
- Further integrated their identities as Christians and storytellers,
- Worked on a project proposal with insight and feedback from their peers and select panelists,
- Experienced the art, literature, culture and storytelling context of our in-person gatherings and
- Deepened relationships with like-minded creatives in their cohort.
All this will equip them to better serve within their current contexts or prepare them for vibrant careers as part of any storytelling environment. CT will also benefit from the proximity to talented storytellers for future engagement.
