School of Ministry
Are you ready to discover your gifts and calling? Are you ready to learn about God’s heart for you and the world? School of Ministry is a formative 8-month program (Sept - April) that trains college students and recent graduates to love God passionately and love people tangibly through weekly Biblical teaching, authentic community, and practical service. This part-time internship will equip students for a lifetime of ministry whether they work in the marketplace, the mission field, or the local church. We gather on Tuesday nights and also serve on Sunday mornings.
Learn
Each week you will get equipped with impactful teaching from pastors and ministry leaders on subjects like:
Passion for Jesus
Worship and Prayer
Hearing God’s Voice
Spiritual Warfare
Making Disciples
Effective Leadership
Relevance of the Bible
Understanding your Gifts
Ministry in the Marketplace
World Religions
Serve
Each week you will serve alongside fellow leaders in the church. The hours are flexible so you can still do school and work a part-time job. Our desire is to place you in an area of ministry that matches your passion and gifting. The internship areas we currently offer are Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Disabilities Ministry, College Ministry, Community and Care, Worship Arts, Global Ministry, and Creative Arts & Communications.
Through interning at New Heights you will learn a philosophy of ministry and leadership that applies to all areas of serving within the church. You will develop skills and get experience that will set you up for success in all areas of life and service!
Live
School of Ministry is a great way to build a community of friends! Each Tuesday night you will meet with other students in a ministry leader’s home for a meal, worship, teaching and fellowship. Several times throughout the program there will be retreats, fun, and adventure scheduled in.
