Internship
Every semester, believers from all over the world come to Metro Ministries to serve. The wealth of information and experiences interns take home only rivals what they leave behind. Interns are critical to Metro Ministries. There is no way we could accomplish all we do each semester without them. Ministering to children who have few choices in life, and often fewer people in life who care about them, interns act as the eyes and ears of Sunday School. They become the arms that reach out and embrace Metro kids. And they become the heart that offers these kids a lifeline to hope and salvation.
What is it?
Metro Ministries' Internship Program is an intense, 12-week urban street ministry program that takes you inside one of the most effective inner-city ministries in the world. This program will challenge you to reach a dynamic level of ministry you never knew existed as you work in the trenches, learning the principles of Metro Ministries and how to run a Sidewalk Sunday School.
What will I gain?
Interns will experience a lifestyle that promotes personal growth and character building while strengthening your Christian walk. In-depth teaching on the study of God's work will equip you to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others. And as you learn how to work and teach in an urban environment, you will gain the experience and wisdom to share the Gospel anywhere in the world. It produces results and changes lives, yours and the people you're trying to reach.
Where will I live?
The Metro World Ministries Center is located just minutes away from Metro Ministries main offices and Church facilities. Here, interns will stay in safe, separate male and female dorm-style housing provided for them at no cost. Three nutritious meals are provided daily to interns at no cost. And transportation to and from everywhere interns need to be for the Internship program is provided. Life at the Center is a team effort and as part of service to one another, interns are required to handle basic household chores such as sweeping and cleaning.
When can I come?
Each year, Metro Ministries operates two, 12-week internship semesters. The Spring semester runs from early March to the end of June. The Fall semester begins early September and concludes just before Christmas.
What do I have to do?
All interns are required to make their own travel arrangements to New York. This includes passports and visas if necessary.
