An internship with Christian Reformed Home Missions is a one-on-one ministry training opportunity that provides:
- On-site, in-ministry application of biblical studies.
- Practical work to sharpen ministry skills.
- Opportunity for growth in Godly character.
- Preparation of leaders for the harvest in North America.
Internships play a key role in Home Missions’ plan to identify, train, and places persons in Kingdom service throughout the Christian Reformed Church. This plan is part of an overall strategy for building a culture of church planting in the denomination.
