The experience.
Our unpaid internships are designed to give an immersive and up-close experience in vocational ministry by providing a dynamic mix of theological education, spiritual formation and practical hands-on experience that will strengthen your ministry gifts and clarify your missional calling in life. Throughout the internship you will have an opportunity to:

Get practical hands-on professional and ministry experience and training by engaging in a variety of meaningful ministry-related roles and responsibilities

Experience firsthand the inner workings of a variety of aspects of our church organization
Opportunity to attend leadership gatherings and meetings with Pastors and staff
Team dynamics.
We believe culture and fit is so important to the success of any job or position, even an internship. If you can answer ‘yes’ or want to answer ‘yes’ to most of these questions, then there’s a good chance you’ll get a lot out of the internship.
Do you thrive in new, diverse and rapidly evolving environments where you are constantly being challenged to grow professionally and spiritually?
