High School Internship Program
The High School Internship (also known as the 4:12 Internship) helps students grow in their faith while gaining hands-on experience in ministry. Rather than choosing a single track, interns will be exposed to a variety of ministry areas and receive training across multiple departments throughout the summer. Participants also engage in weekly chapels and leadership classes to build foundational skills and knowledge.
