XL Ministries exists to provide leadership training materials, structure, and support to the local church as it endeavors to train elders, pastors, and missionaries.
2 Timothy 2:2

XL’s founders believe that the church is absolutely the best place to train men for ministry.  Because of this, in 1992 XL Ministries was formed with the intent of developing internships that could be accomplished within the context of the local church.

“Churches can easily fall into the habit of praying that God will raise up elders for the benefit of the church, as though the responsibility falls completely on God. The truth is that it is the church’s responsibility to train godly men to become elders.” Rocky Wyatt, President, XL Ministries
