It is important to know up front what one can expect when considering an internship at Summit Crossing. Here is the general framework:

• Interns can be full or part time. (Church Planting Internships are only available for full time.)

• Interns will raise their own financial support. (We do offer housing in host homes as available.)

• Interns will be available to help with various tasks that may be outside of their area of interest.

• Interns will be given both experiential work as well as theological teaching.

• Interns will not be guaranteed a staff position upon completion of their internship and internships may be terminated at any time if it is deemed to no longer be mutually beneficial.
