Internship
Program
Colonial Woods is a church of many different kinds of people,
all of which are learning daily how to live out the Christian
life. It is a diverse congregation of cultures, education
and economics. Even though we are diverse in our culture,
we are united in our passion to live out the relevant realities
of Christ today. Our goal is to lead others to the changed
life that we have experienced. Being a catalyst for changed
lives motivates everything we do.
We are a church bent on learning and growing in a lifestyle
that reflects Jesus Christ, we desperately long to live out
the change Christ has brought. We are a place for imperfect
people who are striving to walk like Christ. This is expressed
in every aspect of our ministry; from the way we do children’s
ministry, youth, young adult’s and even senior adult
ministries, thus offering a full spectrum of training on Sundays
for the whole family.
We take these same concepts and funnel them on down through
our internship program. The internship program is designed
to help ministry majors grow in their maturity and faithfulness
to Jesus Christ. Moving beyond the classroom setting, it is
the intention of these courses to surface issues of self,
in relation to the call to ministry, and to demonstrate strengths,
weaknesses, gifts, and areas of need in relation to effective
ministry to adolescents. Through these courses, students should
foster a renewed passion for ministry, achieve a greater level
of personal, emotional, and spiritual maturity, and test the
call to ministry though hands-on experiences.
The basic assumption behind this program is that certain
tasks of professional ministry are best learned by practical
experience. The cooperative participation of a local ministry
team (acting as a field supervisor) allows for further learning
through observation and evaluation by an experienced and faithfully
committed person of ministry. It is therefore imperative that
the student selects field locations that will not just provide
a practical experience, but a beneficial experience.
Throughout the practical awareness and the focus on skills
and gifting, it is important that the student be obedient
to God’s call on his or her life throughout. Regular
times of prayer, reflection, and study of God’s Word
are integral to the learning that emerges from these courses.
This program will provide guided theory and practice in all
facets of ministry which will include youth, children’s,
pastoral care, organization and logistics, communication and
worship, with supervised responsibility for hands-on work
totaling 40 hours/week.
