College Internship

theEXPERIENCE is a full-time college internship that combines formal academics with practical hands-on training outside of the classroom.

Students take accredited Bible classes at one of the top Christian colleges in the nation while gaining world-class leadership training from one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing churches.

Faith

Establishing a career is not the ultimate purpose in life; it is simply a platform to be used to glorify God. Our greatest fulfillment is only found through our relationship with Him. Learn to apply spiritual disciplines, read the Scriptures, pray, and build your faith like never before.

Character

Character development is vital for future success and longevity. Through the support of staff members, coaches, professors, and personal mentors, you will be challenged to grow personally and shape your character for a lifetime. Learn to develop character in all aspects of life for wherever God is calling you.

Leadership

In order to make a difference, a leader must rise to the task. The combination of academic theory and practical leadership opportunities will equip you with the necessary tools to effectively lead others. Learn to increase your influence in order to initiate change in this world.
