PASTORAL INTERNSHIP
If you feel called to ministry and desire hands-on, Christ-centered training in a healthy local church, we invite you to consider applying for our PASTORAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (PIP).
Whether you’re exploring ministry, preparing for seminary, or seeking clarity in your calling, this eleven-month internship will ground you in biblical truth, develop your character, and help you grow in pastoral wisdom and ministry skills.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This program is designed to equip aspiring pastors, evangelists, and church leaders with education, training, and ministry opportunities. For eleven months, we unveil regular, day-to-day pastoral life and provide our interns with a biblical, ecclesiological grid for doing the work of ministry. We give our interns the opportunity to Observe pastoral ministry, Study sound doctrine, and Engage in the life of the church.
OBSERVE
A critical and often overlooked aspect of pastoral training consists of observing experienced pastors and church leaders carry out ministry, having the freedom to ask questions and consider the real, day-to-day labor that makes up pastoral ministry. KCBC’s pastoral interns will be immersed in the life of the church—attending staff meetings, elders’ meetings, all public services of the church, staff reading and prayer times, weddings, funerals, conferences, and weekly service reviews. In addition to observing church life, KCBC interns will spend much of their time engaging in conversation with pastors and church members.
STUDY
Much of the interns’ time is spent reading and interacting with subjects like systematic and biblical theology, pastoral leadership, counseling, and spiritual formation. As interns sharpen their reading skills, they also grow in their ability to write and discuss these important topics with others. Additionally, interns are taught how to develop sermon outlines of their own, and receive practical training in preaching and teaching.
ENGAGE
Interns are fully engaged in the community life of the church. Among other things, they attend Home Groups, assist with general office administration at KCBC and Gospel Publication, participate in new member interviews, attend lunches with pastors, leaders and other church members, and may be given opportunities to lead worship services, teach, and preach.
FOLLOW UP
We endeavor to provide long-term ministry encouragement for the brothers who come through the internship program. In addition to intentional weekly correspondence, advice, and care, we also provide each intern with a personal library of more than 35 books and other resources that will serve as long-term ministry tools and encouragement.
IMPORTANT DETAILS
KCBC offers the internship program once a year to four to six men. The program lasts approximately eleven months, from July through May. We welcome applications from men from anywhere who are aiming at pastoral ministry and who are able to affirm the KCBC church covenant and statement of faith.
