**This can be done for credit for seminary students @ SEBTS.
The Ministry Intensive at North Wake is a 10-month internship designed to further equip those who are interested in greater service to the Body of Christ in many different areas. Interns will be paired with a staff member in order to be mentored in certain aspects of ministry based on their desired focus and availability. There is also a group component that allows the interns to meet and discuss readings that focus on growing in ministry to others. The miscellaneous readings, assignments, and projects given work together to provide a holistic experience for our interns as they seek to grow in their service to the body. In addition, SEBTS students can get 2 semesters of credit for participating in the internship.
If you are in the process of being sent out by North Wake or hope to be ordained by North Wake in your pursuit of pastoral ministry, the ministry intensive is an essential step in each of those processes.
