Internship or Vicarage

Upon successful completion of the required coursework, the student will do a one-year internship. Normally, this internship will take place at the site where the student will develop his or her ministry as an evangelist, deacon, deaconess, teacher, or pastor. During the internship, the student will have a “secular” job to cover living expenses, and will dedicate at least 10 hours each week to ministry.

A bilingual supervisor will direct the practical ministry activities of the student and will serve as a mentor. This supervisor will make a written evaluation every three months of the student and his or her progress. Each student must pass the final evaluation in order to receive the Diploma.
