  • Meet with them.

    When contacted by a prospective intern, please permit the intern to have a conference with you as soon as possible. Fill out the Field Supervisor Information Form.

  • Congregational Approval

    If appropriate and upon your recommendation, request the congregation to demonstrate approval of the intern for the current semester.

  • Make a Plan

    Ask the intern to prepare an Internship Learning Covenant and determine a schedule that will work best for you and the student that includes 8-10 hours of service.

  • Schedule Regular Conference Times

    Schedule regular, weekly if possible, conferences with the intern. Be mindful that you are ministering to a person in addition to measuring performance. Check out these Conference Ideas for Guided Ministry Internships.
