The Year Long Internship Program is designed for recent college graduates and other young adults interested in vocational ministry within the local church. This intentional leadership development program focuses on helping interns discover their own call as a minister, acquire specific skills relating to ministry, and form habits that will carry them into a lifetime of ministry.
