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:

  • Explore personal calling & vocational discernment

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

  • Receive mentorship, coaching and spiritual direction by pastoral staff and key leaders

  • 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?

  • Are you a calculated risk-taker who loves starting new initiatives and also creating the structures and systems to grow and sustain them?

  • Do you love learning, receiving feedback, pursuing excellence, solving problems and thinking out-of-the-box to keep things fresh and always improving?

  • Do you have a collaborative working style and enjoy team dynamics?

  • Are you detailed oriented and self motivated with strong verbal and written communication skills?

  • Do you have a strong commitment to personal integrity, faithfulness, spiritual formation and wholeness?

  • Are you a culturally competent individual who thrives in multicultural environments and cares about diversity and inclusivity?
