A faith-based residential internship program for young adults, ages 21-31, Lawrence House Service Corps is an intentional, progressive Christian community, sponsored by All Saints' Episcopal Church in South Hadley, MA. This 10-month intentional community program is designed to balance professional service, communal living, and spiritual depth. It follows a rhythmic structure of Orientation, Immersion, and Integration. Spiritual life at Lawrence House is not tied to one dogma, but anchored in contemplative action. This includes daily silence, study of sacred texts, and somatic practices such as yoga and breathwork. Service opportunities are a laboratory for practicing ethics, patience, and justice. Communal living offers the chance to practice a high-accountability shared economy for groceries and house needs to foster interdependence.
Lawrence House provides fellows with furnished housing, utilities, $250/month for food, a $400/month cash stipend, and transportation costs to and from placement sites.
Mustard Seed Project is new ministry of The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. As we start this program, our focus will be to cultivate regional, non-residential young adult formation and discipleship communities that nurture imagination, faith, and leadership development. These sacred, inclusive, and creative spaces will give young adults the space to worship together, engage in spiritual formation, and explore what it means to follow Jesus to lead lives grounded in God’s justice, joy, and love.
This program equips young adults with the spiritual, relational, and leadership skills to live out their faith radically, lovingly, and compassionately. Through a commitment to transformative fellowship, shared formation, and service experiences, participants are empowered to embody the Gospel in the world. Rooted in love and committed to caring for one another and the world, we share the good news that a world of dignity and belonging for all people is possible. Together, we will reclaim and reshape the narrative of what it means to follow Jesus in our time.
This part-time, non-residential fellowship is designed for young adults ages 18–32, with attention to the distinct needs of those in emerging adulthood and those navigating more established life paths. While primarily serving young adults in Eastern Massachusetts, the program is also open to those relocating to the region. Rooted in progressive Christianity, it welcomes all who are open to spiritual exploration and formation in the context of the Episcopal Church. We aim for participants to reflect the diversity of the communities where we live and work and are committed to cultivating diverse cohorts across race, gender, sexuality, and class.
