Christ the King Ministry Internship - Now Accepting Applications
The CtK Internship program exists to prepare men and women for vocational service to Jesus and his church. Internships are custom designed to explore and identify potential ministry career paths and callings. The CtK internship also provides interns with practical ministry experience designed to prepare them for a career in ministry. That career path could include vocational ministry as pastors, church staff, local and global missionaries, parachurch ministries, etc. Our particular hope is that the Lord would see fit to raise up future church planting teams.
