Internships
With
The John Knox Fellows

Purpose:
"The John
Knox Fellows" are college or divinity school students, who spend
three months to a year working a minimum of twenty hours per
week in a good local church. Its purpose is to expose the
student to what real ministry is like, to see the "backside" of
weddings, funerals, sermon preparations, session meetings, and
the like.
Mentor:
Pastor Stephen M. Crotts
weekly gives one-on-one time, as well as group time, with each
student. Pastor Crotts is a veteran thirty year minister
serving churches small, medium, and large. He has had
experience in church planting, as senior pastor, and in every
dimension of church life--from the mission field to publishing to
the itinerancy.
It is the aim of the
internship to help a student to confirm his call to ministry,
affirm spiritual gifts, enjoy hands-on experience, as well as
grow from group seminars on:
-
Strengthening your inner life
-
Small group dynamics
-
Preaching preparation
-
Spiritual gifts
-
Worship leadership
-
Theological formation
-
Church History
-
Evangelism
-

Lust, sex, and pornography
-
Discipleship
-
Temperaments
-
Accepting a call to a local church
-
Leadership styles
-

-
and free subjects of the student's own
interest
Lodging:
Every attempt is made to
locate free or inexpensive housing for the student, usually in a
home with a large measure of privacy. This is in the
Southeastern USA region.
Finances:
The cost of the "John
Knox Fellows" internship is "$870.00 per month.
Local churches often
provide for this, the Carolina Study Center offers some
scholarships, and students may raise funds through the
non-profit foundation. Tax deductible gifts should be made
out to the Carolina Study Center.
Students are allowed to
work up to twenty hours per week in part-time secular jobs to
earn personal expenses and spending money. It is asked
that they be careful to keep church meeting times free.
At the end of the
internship, John Knox Fellows are given a sum of money, as
available, to return to school and further their formal
education. Pastor Crotts remains available for counseling
to those having completed the internship.
