Welcome to BBC’s Internship Program! We hope a BBC Internship is a dynamic learning experience. An internship is a chance to bring together the world of college and the world of ministry. It’s an opportunity to add some “on-the-job training” to college learning. It is similar to taking the college classroom to the field—the Intern gets some hands-on experience in ministry and continues to deepen learning through the laboratory of an established ministry. The Components of Training Church LeadersWe target three areas of development in our preparation of future leaders—knowledge, skills, and character. All three are interrelated in forming servant leaders. Knowledge (Learning the theology, theories, and relevant information.) The classroom excels at imparting knowledge. In order for you to truly internalize this information, however, you must wrestle with applying it out in the field. Skills (The ability to organize, implement, teach, recruit and motivate.) Our practical ministries departments do well at simulating actual ministry settings, and tying assignments and projects to the reality of ministry in the field. The local churches or established mission sites, though, have a distinct advantage in providing a consistent arena in which you can acquire and refine ministry skills in a live setting. Character (The integrity that stems from a walk with God and a subsequent pursuit of holiness.) Ministry, first and foremost, is an overflow of having the character of Christ firmly established in our inner man. Moral failure is the result of undeveloped or underdeveloped character, followed by bad choices. As a growing leader in the Lord’s church, you need to enter into partnership with both the college and the church to make this area of your development a priority. This involves intentional conversation and growth plans concerning the character traits listed in the competencies section of the Internship handbooks. |
