PROGRAM DETAILS
The Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students (CAMPUS) Leader Internship in Public Campus Ministry (Internship) is a program that is designed to (1) provide a venue for ministry training in a secular university context and (2) to train interns on how to effectively evangelize institutions of higher learning and (3) to develop leaders in ministry for the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The CAMPUS Ministry Internship has produced a network of young Adventist leaders around the world. Its graduates have impacted movements like GYC, Advent Hope and our nations top colleges and universities: Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, the University of Michigan, and more. The CAMPUS influence stretches beyond our Michigan headquarters and has been a blessing for thousands of Adventist students across the globe. Take a year off and join some of the brightest minds in Adventism as a leadership intern to secular campuses in Michigan.
THE NEED
More than 75% of Seventh-day Adventist are attending non-Adventist colleges and universities. They need someone to minister to them.
Some colleges and universities have an enrollment of more than 40,000 students. Although some are not as large, they are all basically small (and not so small) cities that change every four years.
Many international students make up the brightest minds in the world, including places that make part of the 10/40 Window – some of the world’s most difficult and unreached areas. University campuses are places where the mission field comes to us.
It is highly likely that if you impact that life of a university student, you will impact the life of a future world leader.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
We are primarily targeting people who already have foundational theological knowledge and basic ministry leadership experience. Applicants should have a deep sense for a call to leadership and for public campus ministry. If you are not willing to wake up early, maintain a healthy exercise routine, and multi-task, this program is not for you.
