Internship Application for 2019-2020

This is a comprehensive application that includes many questions that require much thought and writing. We also strongly encourage you to have ready two letters in .pdf form ready to upload, one from a spiritual/character reference (such as a Dean, teacher, Chaplain, RA or RD) and one from a work/pastoral reference. No friends or relatives, please. Also, we will be asking you for a high-res color .jpg photo of you, one that shows your smiling face! (This picture is not one to show your quirkyness or creativity. It will be used as the first pic seen by our church family if you are chosen for the program; i.e. no mugshots, moody, artsy, etc.)

Once you begin the application, it will not time out as long as you keep your browser window open and remain connected to the Internet. Do not attempt to use a mobile device, as some of the questions have pull-down answers that are not accessible on mobile devices.

All Questions with an asterisk must be completed before your application will be accepted. Please do not skip these questions.

If you have any questions after reading all of the information on the intern page, before you fill out this application, please use the "I have a question about the intern program" form at the very bottom of the intern page.

Choosing your Internship
A significant portion of you time as an intern is spent working with your overseer and others in your particular area. Note that because of our housing, some of the intern positions are designated either Male or Female (see chart below). One of the most important decisions is choosing which area you'll be working in. Now that you've read the material about each area of our intern program, we'd like to get an idea of where to place you in the program by having you answer the questions below! For some of you this will be easy, for others extremely difficult. Please seek God's wisdom as you answer the questions below. Internships listed below reflect those still open and available.
Is there one particular area still available that would definitely be your first priority over any other? *

Please rate each remaining internship area, as to your interest in serving in that area. This will help us place you in the area you're most interested in, or if your first choice is not available, in another area of interest to you. *

	Have no interest	Might be interested	Interested	Very Interested	Extremely passionate about this area
Children's Ministry (2 male & 2 female positions)
Communications/Outreach/Hospitality/Admin (1 female position
Media/Tech (1 male position)
Small Groups/Missions (1 female position)
Worship/Special Events (1 male and 1 female position)
Young Adult (1 male position)
Youth ministries (1 male and 1 female position)
