Internships & Residencies
Multiplying healthy churches by multiplying healthy leaders.
SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
Our Summer Internship Program offers 10 weeks of full-time ministry experience. Participants are exposed to a variety of ministry areas and given responsibilities in a designated area of ministry based on their interests and abilities. We provide each intern with a weekly stipend and free housing throughout their internship.
Most importantly, our internships are about development. We provide several opportunities to ensure each of our interns develops into an effective ministry leader:
Interns receive a personalized leadership assessment and several follow-up coaching sessions to review and apply their assessment.
We help interns sharpen their ecclesiology—their convictions about what a healthy local church is and how it should function.
Each intern is discipled on a weekly basis individually and as a collective intern group.
RESIDENCIES
Our residencies exist to fulfill the Great Commission by training up healthy pastors who multiply healthy churches. We fulfill this mission by raising the ministry competency and leadership capacity of inexperienced men who are aspiring to ministry through theological learning, leadership coaching, and ministry experience. We offer 2 residency options:
Our 3-Year Seminary Residency allows residents to pursue an accredited Masters of Divinity degree through Faith Bible Seminary in Lafayette, IN. While the resident is pursuing their MDiv, they will serve full-time on our staff being developed as a leader and serving in various ministries.
Our 18-month Leadership Residency provides leadership and preaching/teaching experience for inexperienced men who are pursuing pastoral ministry. This full-time position focuses on developing gifts that seminary likely did not teach them (administration, leadership, preaching, etc.) to refine their pastoral giftings and increase their readiness to serve as a pastor or missionary.
