FAQ

  • Yes! We’ve got a room available in our apartment building right next to the church, just a couple blocks from the beach.

  • While the internship is unpaid, and interns are volunteers, we do provide a stipend of $1250 to cover personal living expenses while participating in the internship program.

  • The expectation is about 26 hours of ministry participation and 4 hours dedicated to development.

  • The program involves a 30-hour weekly commitment. Depending on the role, this may include some evening events and occasional Sunday involvement, but we aim to keep three full days open for outside work or personal time.

  • It depends on the role.

  • Our goal is to equip young leaders to serve the broader church, and when the opportunity arises, we’re always open to interns joining our staff team.

  • The apartments are furnished and ready for move-in. Interns are welcome to bring or purchase personal items to make the space more comfortable.

  • We’re laser-focused on giving interns hands-on ministry experience where they feel called. This program isn’t about exploring different areas, it’s designed to intentionally train those with a strong passion, and we believe Vintage Church provides a unique blend of Spirit-led and Word-centered ministry.

  • There is a good chance!

  • Yes and no. We want interns fully involved in helping run our Christmas and Easter services, but there are a few days after Christmas set aside for interns to visit home.

  • Certain roles expect a baseline of experience to get the most out of the opportunities available at Vintage. The requirements should be clear in each posting.

  • We welcome applicants from outside the country. However, obtaining a tourist visa is the responsibility of the intern, and the application process must be completed independently after acceptance into the program.

  • Each role is designed with integrated responsibilities and clear, measurable development goals. On top of that, interns come together for focused formation sessions led by the pastors.
