Internship Program

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The Veritas Internship Program is more than your typical internship. You will get to do meaningful ministry work and become more equipped to do ministry in the future. The goal is to help you use your gifts and get real experience rather than just doing busy work or the stuff that no one else wants to do. Ultimately, our internships are more than just training. We want you to fall more in love with Jesus, experience Christ-centered community, and gain a healthy vision for what the local church could be.


WHAT TO EXPECT

The internship is for those currently in college and is a 40 hours / week commitment that runs from the end of May to the beginning of August. You will work alongside a ministry department and their staff team. Relational ministry work and being part of a team is prioritized. Focus areas for Kids, Students, College, Worship, and Communications (including graphic design, social media, writing, and/or video). Housing will be provided, if desired, and each intern will be paid $3,000 for the summer.


WHAT HAVE PAST INTERNS SAID?

I loved the internship because of how unique the experience was. Being a student leader in Ames, I always had so many questions about the behind the scenes work at a church. This was such a great way to understand how a church functions and to be a part of a church work culture. It was a fun way to get that exposure without committing to a full time job.

Getting to see what ministry looks like on a day-to-day basis has been absolutely incredible in helping me grow in my appreciation for the local church. Just seeing the passion and intentionality that everyone here walks in with every single day is so so encouraging, and I think just seeing all of the different issues that the church has to deal with and walk through that I'd just never thought about before really helped me to grow in my appreciation for the local church.

This internship has helped me grow in so many ways. From a stronger devotion to Christ and a deeper theological understanding, to a growth in appreciation for the local church and genuine relationships with fellow believers. I cannot describe how fantastic this internship was. It showed me, once again, that God is personal and takes great care for His children. He has worked in my life in so many ways and I have grown closer to Him through that.


APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications open December 1, and are due by February 28. Interviews with potential interns will be held in March, and selected and communicated with in March and April. The internship begins at the end of May once school is out, and runs through July 31.
