NBA XPLOR partners young adults with Disciples congregations and the communities in which they serve. During this 10-month residency, young adults aged 21-30 have the opportunity to live simply in community, engage in direct service and justice work, unleash their leadership potential, and spiritually discern their vocations. Through this experience, we pray XPLOR Residents will sense the gravitational pull of their faith, develop hearts for care and service, and discern how to focus their life’s work.
