Summer Internship 2027
*Applications will open February, 2027*
What interns can expect:

- Serving and taking ownership of a ministry within Gateway
- Weekly mentorship
- Shadowing ministry leaders
- An independent Project
- Hands-on serving opportunities
The biggest positive for me during this internship experience has to be seeing the inner workings of a church and getting to be in them first hand. I have a much better understanding of what the planning and structure for a Sunday morning has to look like. I also feel that I grew in what I knew about myself and how I could be a better leader.
I would 100% recommend the program. It was very fun, allowed us to learn a lot about ourselves, leadership, and ministry and we were truly involved and valued as part of the team.
I would definitely recommend it because there’s simply not another opportunity quite like it. For example, I can’t believe that the interns get paid to develop themselves personally. Reading books, engaging in the internship cohort, participating in staff meetings, etc…That just seems like a “too good to be true” opportunity.
