Resound Project Ministry Intern - Application

Program Summary

The Ministry Internship Program is offered to qualified male and female candidates who have discerned a call to ministry and who are pursuing a degree from an accredited seminary. The purpose of the program is to help students grow spiritually and clarify their sense of call while worshipping and serving in the local church.

The internship is designed so that students receive a substantial amount of relational and spiritual support from the congregation and its members while also gaining extensive experience in ministry.We anticipate that some Ministry Interns will in the future serve the Church as senior, associate or assistant pastors or as ministry directors, and many will become excellent candidates for future positions at any one of the churches in the growing Resound network.

• Work full time at the local church for a renewable one-year period in supervised ministry in a specific area, such as Community Groups, Pastoral Care, Young Professionals, College Ministry, Youth Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Church Administration, or Mission and Evangelism;
• Pursue an advanced degree such as a Master of Arts or a Master of Divinity through an accredited seminary;
• Participate in a series of modules focused on leadership, preaching, mission, pastoral care, cultural dynamics, and church renewal;
• Receive a monthly stipend and scholarship for seminary.
