INTERNSHIP & FORMATION PROCESS

This hands-on internship is designed to help discern a calling in servant leadership that allows you to hone your gifts and talents, maximize your ministry skills, and challenge you to walk in holiness, think theologically and live pastorally.

"Foundry's internship was so welcoming and geared to develop me as a follower of Christ and a leader to others. I felt free to explore different areas of ministry, and I was provided every opportunity to do just that."
Grant Kauffman, Intern 2023
