INTERNship

step into ministry

We’re committed to equipping believers who are called into ministry to confidently do the will of God. Through intentional environments, practical tools, and spiritual resources, we help students grow both in spiritual and natural skills.

Each student is placed in a specific ministry practicum, serving under a department head who disciples them through hands-on leadership and real ministry experience.

A Week as an Intern

Our student schedules have been designed to allow you to optimize your time while at Life Bible College Internship. You’ll be submersed in biblical instruction, personal spiritual formation, discipleship, intentional community, and practical application within the local church at least 15 hours weekly.

  • Every Monday at 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.

    Weekly All-Church Prayer – Students are expected to participate in the corporate prayer gathering every Monday at noon, fostering unity and intercession within the church body.

  • 6:30 - 6:45 p.m. Pre-service Prayer
    7:00 - 8:30 p.m. Believer's Meeting
    8:30-9:20 p.m. Debrief

    Students are required to attend weekly services of Life Church. This service is a time of refreshing. Students also have opportunities to serve and minister during this Wednesday night service in various departments.

    If students participate in a department-specific service, they may attend it instead.

    Students with failing grades may be restricted from participating in department-specific services until further notice.

    If there is a guest speaker, students are requested to be in service to receive from the minister.

    If service ends after 9:00 p.m. Wednesday Night Debrief is canceled.

  • Thursday 9:00 - 12:00 p.m.

    Core Formation Classes – During these classes, interns will gather together to sharpen their spiritual and ministry skills through focused teaching and discussion.

    Classes will involve Leadership Class, Missions, Fundamentals of Caregiving, and Basics of Graphic Design.

  • Morning Run Club is a weekly rhythm designed to build grit, consistency, discipline, and community within the internship program. More than simply exercising together, this environment helps students develop endurance physically, mentally, and spiritually while building meaningful relationships outside of the classroom and practicum setting.

    Students gather weekly for guided movement, encouragement, conversation, and connection. This environment creates space for accountability, perseverance, healthy habits, and leadership development through shared challenge and consistency.

  • The foundation of a believer’s life is their relationship with God, nurtured through daily devotion and personal time with Him. Corporate times within the Life Bible College Internship Program should not be the sole time the student communes with God. Corporate times through events, meetings, and church services should encourage the student to go deeper and further in personal devotional times. We highly encourage each student to be involved with the local church.

    If the intern is placed within a practicum focus that ministers on Sunday, they will serve in awareness of their weekly commitment.

  • Department Practicum – Practicum hours vary based on your assigned ministry focus. Students will begin receiving weekly hours approximately 4–5 weeks prior to orientation.

My Story…

  • “This last year in the internship caused me to grow drastically. It’s incredible how when you think you know things, God shows you how little you actually do. Three or four times I left for the day in amazement at how little I knew about ministry and walking with the Lord; I’d gained a lot of head knowledge in the first two years, but the internship is where the remolding and reshaping of my heart took place—it’s where what I’d learned in the previous years began coming together and taking root inside me. The dots began connecting and have been since! My walk and relationship with the Lord grew stronger as I learned more about who He’s purposed me to be and what personal flaws were in the way that needed to be overcome. He gave me such an internal resolve and changed my heart when it came to serving others that now it’s rooted deep in my character to serve whoever I am under to the absolute best of my ability. I’m called to serve the Lord which means I’m called to serve people.”

    Dashi Sopoti

  • “I HAVE NOTICED AN INCREASE IN BOLDNESS. I DON’T HAVE TO THINK SO MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT HE IS IN ME AND IT’S HIM THAT LEADS,  IT’S NOT ME. LEARNING TO TRUST THE LORD WAS A LONG PROCESS FOR ME BUT BEING ABLE TO FINALLY BE FREE WHEN I’M LEADING WORSHIP. IT IS LIBERATING. I’M NOT SO CAUGHT UP IN MY HEAD ANYMORE. I CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT HE WILL LEAD ME TO SAY WHAT I NEED TO SAY & I CAN KNOW THAT HE IS BACKING ME UP.”

    Areli Rodriguez

  • “THE INTERNSHIP HELPED ME LEARN WHAT GODLY LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE. MY BOLDNESS AND FAITH IN GOD GREW AS HE CONTINUED TO REVEAL HIS VISION FOR ME. THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK WITH LEADERS IN THE CHURCH HAS ENABLED ME TO GO FURTHER THAN I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ALONE.”

    Cade Brackett

  • "I was told of God freshman year of high school. I had no connections of knowing more of God, I tried learning on my own but it was difficult. Throughout high school, I desired to know God, personally and His Word. Through Life Bible College, I have learn about God more personally, I learned I can hear from Him, I know the Word and the Truth, and I get to use this in my life daily. The Lord reminded of the desire I had during high school, and now through Life Bible college, I can now daily live a testimony of what I desired. I now have a close relationship with God, which is what I desired for so long."

    Alondra Sotomayor

Admissions Process

The admissions process is designed to help you step confidently into your calling. Once you submit your application, you’ll be invited to a personal interview to determine whether the program is a good fit. If accepted, you’ll be placed in a ministry practicum where a department leader will walk alongside you, offering discipleship, training, and real ministry experience to help you grow in both character and calling.

Practicum FOCUS

Community service

  • Decide to focus on videography, photography, or graphic design during the year to further develop your skills. Each student will have a tailored learning experience based on their ability. They will work on various projects and campaigns to fine-tune skills learned from lessons.

    A portfolio and working interview must be submitted before final acceptance.

  • The Counseling Practicum exists to help interns develop a Biblical foundation for caregiving, encouragement, and ministry care within the local church. Through discipleship, observation, practical ministry involvement, and guided conversations, interns will learn how to minister to people with wisdom, compassion, discernment, and Christ-centered truth.

    Interns will gain exposure to areas such as effective listening, prayer ministry, relational care, spiritual encouragement, emotional health, crisis response, and solution-based Biblical counseling. This practicum is designed to help students understand not only how to care for people practically, but also how to point individuals toward spiritual growth, healing, and transformation through Jesus Christ.

  • Students develop essential administrative skills to foster an environment for ministry to thrive. The building blocks of this area are communication, collaboration, and connection. Students will aim to learn how to lead and serve people in the church body.

  • Students will learn the importance of the relationship between missionaries and the church. They will gain team building skills, and administrative skills, and understand the steps to plan a successful mission trip. They will work with the Mission Director to gain wisdom and insight for missions.

    Mission-focused students will be required to go on at least one mission trip. Students will need to apply for Global Entry in the fall.

  • Pour into this generation who desire to be spirit-led believers. Students will get hands-on experience learning how to light various age groups on fire for Jesus. They will have different opportunities to build teams, facilitate services, and work side-by-side with staff.

  • Students will develop practical leadership skills by assisting in the day-to-day functions of a worship pastor. They will learn the responsibilities required to produce a church service, and how to support their senior Pastor by providing Spirit-led worship leadership. The program is designed to empower and equip leaders to lead and run a worship department, and to lead the body of Christ in worship.

    Auditions are required to be entered into department.

Spiritual life

Spiritual life is more than personal growth—it’s about active participation in the Body of Christ. Interns are immersed in a vibrant church community through weekly services, prayer gatherings, and conferences/events, while also learning the value of generosity, integrity, and service. From hands-on ministry to personal discipleship, every part of the experience is designed to deepen your walk with God and equip you to live out your faith boldly.
