What you need to know about internships at LCBC

There are a thousand things you can do with your life right now, but what if God is stirring up in you an interest in local church ministry?

What is the purpose of an internship?

To help you, as a young adult, determine if vocational ministry within a local church is the direction you should head at this time in your life.

Should you consider serving as an intern?

Yes, if you want to explore what serving in church-related vocational ministry is really like, whether you are just beginning to consider a career path, or you are farther along in life and thinking about making a career change.

Settled confidence as to whether vocational ministry is the right path for you.

Significant growth as you are developed spiritually, professionally, and relationally.

Personal attention from seasoned leaders who are committed to your growth.

Real-world experience in vocational ministry within a thriving local church.

Clear next steps to take as you pursue your vocational goals.

Internships range in length from 3 months (typically for students needing a semester or summer length internship) to 6 months, with the possibility of continuing on for 12 months total.

As an intern, you would serve 10-20 hours per week (we'll work that out when you apply), either at an LCBC location or on one of our Central Teams.

As part of your weekly hours, you will participate in various environments that are critical to your development, such as weekly team meetings and weekend gatherings.

That you can tell us how you became a life changed by Christ, specific ways you are growing in that relationship, and where you are actively serving at LCBC, or the church you currently attend.

That you wholeheartedly support, and live out, our mission of introducing people to Jesus and together fully following him.

That you resonate with our core values: we run after the one; we pursue excellence; we prioritize relationships; we deploy people for impact; and we are real and relatable.

That you take initiative, are willing to work hard, love to learn, and desire to grow spiritually, professionally, and relationally within a team environment.

What would your internship look like?

While internships will look slightly different, depending on the ministry area in which you would be serving, all of them focus on two main components:

- Knowledge that equips - while you will learn from everything you do as an intern, you will be reading and discussing a number of short books that will lay the foundation for a lifetime of growing spiritually, professionally, and relationally.

- Experiences that stretch - the heart of an internship is real-world experience in a specific area of local church ministry, and you'll be getting plenty of that! You will be part of a dynamic team and given opportunities to both serve and lead.

What should you do before you apply?

Talk with your campus pastor or ministry leader, and let them know about your interest in an internship. They will help you think through everything, as you together determine whether an internship at LCBC would be your best next step at this time.
