Seeking His workman in a multitude of people, the Lord calls out to him and lifts his voice

Are you longing to be part of a Christian Community with other young adults? Are you hoping to deepen your prayer life? Are you seeking to serve the poor, the hungry, the marginalized? Are you willing to practice simple, sustainable gardening and living?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, consider applying to the Benedictine Service Corps!

The Benedictine Service Corps is a yearlong program for young adults seeking to grow and be formed through Benedictine Spirituality. Members will pray with the monastic community at Incarnation Monastery, work with non-profits and churches in the City of Omaha, and live in Christian community with other young adults.

A commitment to the Corps will run from late August through the end of June each year. Housing, food, utilities, some transportation, and a stipend will be provided to those accepted into the Benedictine Service Corps.

Corps members will live at St. Benedict’s House in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Rule of Benedict teaches us how to live in peace with one another, how to listen to God and one another more deeply, and how to live a life of service. We invite you to consider joining this growing movement of young Christians who wish to connect more fully with God, with other Christians and with Creation. We hope you will discern a one year commitment to the Benedictine Service Corps. If you are interested in applying for the Benedictine Service Corps, please fill out our Application Form.

Since joining the Benedictine Service Corps I have been amazed by the hospitality, love, and support that has been shown by the local churches and the entire diocese. That support and hospitality has given me a chance to discern my call and grow exponentially in my faith and family. The Service Corps has allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a follower of Christ.

Since I’ve joined the Benedictine Service Corps I’ve been amazed with how fast the Omaha community has opened their arms to me! Having a spiritual community in The Benedictine Way, as well as in the Episcopal Church, has grounded me and given me the chance to focus outwardly on service for others. And, interning with Restoring Dignity has given me the opportunity to extend that same hospitality to the refugee families we work with on a regular basis.

Since joining The Benedictine Way and working in the Service Corps, I have been able to center my life on prayer and service to the community more than I ever have been able to before. I have seen all the good the Episcopal Church is capable of doing, whether it's fundraising and bringing awareness to worthy causes, or helping the homeless on the steps. Here, I am given the ability to live out the Gospel in its truest form.
