The Greenhouse is an intentional community seeking to train and mentor those who seek to use their gifts in God’s global mission. Through discussion and an interactive format each intern is trained and mentored in mission, gifts and calling, cross cultural dynamics, evangelism and how Christianity relates to all of culture. Each intern will participate in daily teaching, mentoring and devotional sessions, as well as actively engaging with various local ministries like university, children, teen, ESL or mercy ministries.

The goal of The Greenhouse is to equip interns for ministry by helping them understand who they are in Christ. The overflow of this understanding is what fuels ministry and mission. The Lviv Church Planting Team hosts the summer Greenhouse to provide a safe community where interns are mentored, trained, and taught about the workings of cross-cultural missions, with the goal in mind that this will affect their understanding, not only of missions and of themselves, but also of their place in the kingdom of God. Learn more about The Greenhouse on the Lviv team website.
