Broad Goals of the Internship Ministry:

● Enables Gilliam Springs Baptist Church to best attain the defined “win” of:
“making disciples that Worship God, Grow in Christ, and Follow Him”. Standards of Intern Selection:
● Interns must complete a detailed application, an interview with our ministry team, and have a background check. The intern should expect to discuss in detail their testimony of salvation, call into ministry, doctrine/theology, and goals of the internship.
● Students will be accepted through an application/interview process. The Ministry team holds the authority to select any applicant without explanation to the other applicants.
