Intern Development Program
The Grace Church Intern Development Program provides opportunities for an intern to receive personal and spiritual mentoring, as well as leadership development, ministry experience, and a glimpse into the life of a person in ministry. Interns will gain a valuable education working alongside Grace Church staff members.
Eligibility:
Candidates eligible to apply must be followers of Christ who fully support the vision of Grace Church. Candidates must be 18-28 years old, and will show the character required to lead and shepherd others as well as teach-ability to learn the discipline and skills necessary to serve in a growing ministry.
College Credit:
If your college or university offers internship opportunities, we will work directly with your counselors and/or professors to ensure you meet all the necessary requirements.
Housing:
We will work as closely as possible with interns accepted into the program to help them secure housing; however, housing is ultimately the responsibility of the intern.
Mentorship:
Interns will meet consistently with their supervisor for professional and spiritual development.
