Collegiate Congregational Internships

The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s Collegiate Congregational Internships will provide opportunities for college students to serve through local CBF partner churches.

Beginning next summer and continuing through 2012, CBF is facilitating internships to 100 college students each year. These 10-week full-time internships will help students who are exploring a call to congregational ministry.

Through a Lilly Endowment grant, CBF provides the student with a stipend, a week of orientation and education, ongoing coaching and debriefing at the end of the experience. The host church provides the student with an overview of the church’s ministry, housing and living expenses, and church-related travel and ministry expenses.

You can share this opportunity with others. Download a flyer and print a copy (there are two flyers per page) to distribute. Download the expectations agreement to learn more about the internship. Student and church applicants are required to sign and submit the agreement.

If you have questions about the internship, contact Wanda Kidd.
