LeadX Stories
Renata Crawford
LeadX helped me grow closer to Christ and become a more confident leader by placing me in leadership roles I never thought I could handle. It introduced me to inspiring leaders who played a key role in my growth. You should do LeadX because it deepens your faith, challenges you to step out of your comfort zone, and opens doors to incredible.
Anthony Rosario
I loved interning because it showed me a close up view of the capital C church and that my role big or small makes an impact on the Kingdom of God. You should do LeadX because it will open up so many learning opportunities that are so unique and God breathed, it will change your life.
Raymond Garcia
What I enjoyed most about being in LeadX was that realizing that the leader in myself needed to be strengthened. LeadX helped me by giving me biblical knowledge to self-help. With great pastors coming along side us to teach, I went in a good leader but came out a better leader. You should do LeadX because there is something valuable in you, and LeadX will help you build on that.
Mesha Reynolds
I loved interning at Champions Centre because it helped bring out the best in my leadership. It equipped me to lead at a higher capacity at my full time job and in the church. You should do LeadX because it will allow you to use all that God has for you and the leader within you.

LeadX provided an opportunity for me to grow spiritually while gaining hands-on experience in ministry and leadership. It allows interns to develop valuable skills, build meaningful relationships, and serve their community in a faith-centered environment. You should do LeadX because this experience not only strengthens personal faith but also equips you for future careers in ministry or service-oriented fields.

I loved interning because LeadX has helped me grow in every aspect of my life, providing me with countless opportunities. It has also supported my pursuit of furthering my education through the partnership with Northwest University and has guided me in strengthening my relationship with God.

Cameron Macdonald
The LeadX internship is amazing, it gave me so many opportunities to further my serve for the Church. It forced me, in a good way, to grow in skills that I lacked in. I formed life long friendships during my internship, and wouldn’t change a thing in my experience. You should do LeadX because you will grow in every single area of your life, more than anywhere else.
Mia Diaz
I loved LeadX because it pushed me past my comfort zone and made me a new person! I met a lot of amazing people and learned things that I could take into my home and workplace! You should do LeadX because it will impact and equip you in many ways!
