Internships at Bethany 

Each intern will serve Bethany Community Church as a whole and share many common experiences while individually have varying responsibilities depending on the area of ministry which he or she is serving. 

While the day-to-day of the intern experience will look different for each individual, there are also collective experiences that the interns share. These include participating in the staff’s weekly theology meeting in which issues relevant to Bethany are discussed at the theological level. Also, the intern team meets weekly to discuss their ministry experiences and to reflect on the nature of God’s call to serve in vocational ministry. Additionally, all interns meet one-on-one with their ministry lead, attend intern retreats, and can expect to be given responsibilities in five areas that Bethany has deemed critical to discerning gifts and call—spiritual formation, leadership development, teaching, administration, and relational ministry.

We are no longer accepting Part-Time Internship applications for the 2018-19 year. 

Part Time Internships

Submissions for 2018–19 are closed for this year.

The part-time internship is a twelve-to twenty-hour per week volunteer position that is intended to provide individuals with opportunities to explore their gifts within a church setting. Part-time interns are undergrad students, grad students, and people working in the marketplace while serving within the church.

Each intern will gain experience in five key areas of vocational ministry—administration, teaching, leadership development, relational ministry, and spiritual formation. Depending on an intern’s ministry area, the percentages of these responsibilities will differ.
