CTS Extension Ed. About Us Field Education Student Ministry Internship Student Ministry Student ministry is an integral part of the learning process of the College student, and is based upon the persuasion that education is made complete through life experience. The Handbook for Student Ministry, available from the Director of Student Ministry, outlines ministry requirements, types of ministry, procedures to gain credit, and guidelines. Internship provides an extended, in-depth practice of ministry in a local church setting under the supervision of experienced ministerial personnel.
Students apply for an internship during the fall semester in the third year of a four year program.
The student must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA, attend an internship readiness assessment interview, be approved by faculty and participate in the Internship Seminar. The approved internship will be served at an agreed time following the third year of a four year program. Both the students intending to intern and pastors who will act as supervisors meet on campus for the annual Internship Seminar during the winter semester. At this time pastors and students are given guidelines for making the internship experience as profitable as possible. It is also an opportunity for pastors to meet personally with their assigned intern and brief them on their anticipated responsibilities.
