Life Skills
Live in community with other interns from August to May. Improve your communication skills, learn how to work through conflict, and live independently.
Spiritual Disciplines
Grow by participating in a one on one discipleship relationship. Learn and practice the spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible study, scripture memory, fasting, and rest.
Practical Theology
Learn how to serve others. Practice what it means to be a contributing church member.
Biblical Thought
Learn to read, understand, and obey scripture. See how scripture is relevant today and how it impacts your life here and now. Be trained to use scripture to make decisions in your life.
Vocational Discernment
Identify your spiritual gifts and how they can be used for the Church. Work a minimum ten hours a week in vocational employment with a mentor. Learn from recruiters and career counselors about vocational ministry. In addition, you can attend Cuesta or online school to further your education.
