• Will I be on my own?

  Each intern is matched with a coach. This coach is a Life.Church staff member who is specifically devoted to pouring wisdom into your life and building you up throughout the entire internship. As an intern, you will serve as part of your coach’s staff team. This team will be a major part of your day-to-day development during your internship.

• Are there age limits?

  Internship applicants are passionate about the “capital C” church and are ready to grow in their walk with Christ, develop personal skills, and gain professional ministry experience. We invite any young adults 18 years or older to apply.

  Both full and part-time internships are designed for young adults who are seeking a safe place to grow their confidence and skills in a ministry environment!

• I’m married—am I still eligible?

  Absolutely! However, you will be responsible for securing your own housing.

• Where will I live?

  If you have a housing option near your assigned location (such as a relative or friend), then you are free to secure your own housing. If you need housing, the Life.Church team you are assigned to will assist you in finding housing during your internship, but it’s not guaranteed. Paid interns typically pay no more than $450 a month for housing.

• How many hours per week are expected?

  Campus internships will require 40 hours a week during our full-time internships. Central internships will require a minimum of 25 hours a week and a maximum of 40. Throughout the application and interview process, you’ll need to discuss all scheduling questions or concerns you may have. Your team will do everything possible to work with you to make sure you have a schedule that works best for you.

• What does a typical week look like?

  Depending on your location, you will work four or five days during the week, and some evenings as needed. The weekends will involve serving at various worship experiences. Your coach will work with you to ensure the best use of your time. Applicants must be flexible with their time and ready for the excitement of an internship and the pace of Life.Church.

• Will Life.Church provide health insurance?

  No, Life.Church will not provide health insurance to interns. As an intern, you have two options to consider when it comes to health insurance. You can stay on your parent’s health insurance plan (if applicable) or you can purchase your own plan through a private insurance company. You can talk to our Human Resources team and ask them for suggestions on purchasing your own health insurance plan if you are unsure about your options, but no health insurance coverage will be offered to interns through Life.Church.

• Do I need a personal vehicle?

  Yes. At this time, we cannot provide transportation to and from your assigned location. You are responsible for maintaining adequate insurance on your personal vehicle and having a current driver’s license.

• Will I get a job at Life.Church after I graduate from the internship?

  Although there’s an opportunity to interview for a staff role at the end of the internship, that isn’t the goal. Our hope is that everyone who completes their internship gains a deeper understanding of who God is, who they are, where they belong, and what their purpose is!

• Where will my internship be?

  Campus internships happen at most physical Life.Church Locations across the United States.

  Central internships are located at our Central Offices in Edmond, OK.

• Are part-time internships available?

  Yes, un-paid part-time summer internships lasting from June-August are available each year at every Life.Church location.
