Ministry Internship

Our Internship program was created to help raise up future elders, church planters, missionaries, as well as leaders in the local church. Our desire in this internship is to impart over the course of 6 months deep theological training as well as practical application in the context of the local church. This will occur through rigorous study, writing, teachings, conversations, and interactions with our Elders, staff, and members. This has been the means of providing men with an ecclesiological and pastoral grid for doing the work of ministry locally and abroad for much of church history.

Who is Eligible? 

We welcome applications from men who know they desire to pursue a ministry calling as well as those who are currently seeking if vocation ministry is right for them. 


We believe in many cases an internship serving and learning in the context of a local church could be extremely beneficial for men in the following circumstances:

  • Following graduation of High School
  • Following Graduation of College or Seminary
  • In between Job/Career paths
  • Following Retirement
