Church Music Internship

The Church Music Internship is all about "equipping saints for the work of ministry" (Eph. 4:11-13) and particularly those individuals who are interested in leading worship in song within the church. This internship is designed to develop both the "heart and hands” (character & skill) as well as shape the philosophy of music of each intern. This will develop interns toward a stronger theology of worship, and more specifically, worship in song. This internship will explore how music should be stewarded inside of a local church, as well as give these interns practical opportunities to lead worship in song (where appropriate and based on individual gifting).
