2-Year Post Graduation
Pastoral Program Application
Do you want to be a senior pastor or in full-time ministry? Do you want to plant a church, or become a missionary?
Our P.I.P. Graduate internship is what you have been looking for. In two short years, you will be trained in real dayto-day pastoral ministry, and you will be paid and provided for as a pastoral intern in P.I.P.
How does the Internship work?
- You are paid and provided housing with utilities to be trained on the role of the pastor.
- It is a two-year commitment to WTAP, and your region. (You are guaranteed out of your commitment after two years.)
- You will shadow pastors, going where they go and learning all processes of the church from leading a ministry to the board room at meetings.
- After your commitment is completed you will be ready to lead a church as a pastor or staff member.
- You may choose whatever direction you want to go, but the options here in WTAP are church planting, taking an open church, missions, or helping the church you're in and taking over for a retiring pastor.
Why do I need the Pastoral Internship Program?
The knowledge you attain in college is wonderful, but only 5% of real, authentic, day-to-day pastoring. There is so much to learn and up until now, we had to learn like driving bumper cars at the fair. There are so many facets that college can’t teach you because you begin to deal with living and breathing human people who have attitudes, hurts, sins, and so many problems.
There are ways to be effective working with a board at church. To start or continue a ministry is work, and you can avoid the pitfalls and failures of so many easy day-to-day pastoral problems. Less than 10% of pastoral work is preaching, the rest is administration, training leaders, building projects, and so much more. That is why you should consider our two-year P.I.P. Graduate internship.
I am praying for you.
