What will I be doing?
 The 3.0 Internship experience has six primary components:

1. Hands-On Missional Service
 As an intern, you will be placed in a challenging ministry environment where you will do hands-
on community ministry focusing on literacy, and both physical and spiritual needs. This aspect
will be a cooperative effort of pastors, congregations, and area agencies who focus on under-
served populations.

2. Community Living
 Truly living in Christian community is an incredibly challenging but deeply rewarding

experience. During the summer internship, you will live and work with a large group of diverse
college students, working out what it means to live our faith together. Over the course of the
summer, you will likely develop relationships that will last a lifetime. As interns have shared in
the past, “we arrived as strangers, but we leave as family.”

3. Spiritual Disciplines
 Weekly worship together as interns and at host churches, as well as weekly “Life Transformation
Groups” or “LTG’s” (groups of two or thress of the same genders who meet for the purpose of
accountability, Scripture reflection, and prayer). Please note that part of the LTG experience is
the commitment to a weekly Scripture reading plan.

4. Mentoring / Coaching
 Time with experienced missional leaders to process field experiences on a deeper personal level.
This will occur in a team setting as well as one-on-one.

5. Equipping Sessions
 This weekly training is to help you re-evaluate what it really means to follow Jesus, move
beyond a consumer spirituality, focus on the needs of the world, and prepare to launch future
initiatives that contribute to the transformation of communities. The equipping sessions will
involve required weekly reading and reflection prior to the group gathering.

6. Next Step Planning
 Developing concrete strategies and plans for the future so that what is learned through the
internships is applied in the communities to which you will return. 3.0 is meant to be much more
than a summer-only experience. Past interns have gone on to initiate bold new ministries in
their own communities and serve as agents of change in the life of their student-ministries and
congregations.

An important note about accountability.

Each of these components is important to the
overall purpose of developing you as a leader. Full participation is required and a failure to
fully participate may result in termination. We will work with a struggling intern to avoid
termination, but for the sake of the other interns, we cannot allow individuals to opt out of any
components as this has a very detrimental effect on the program and sense of community.
