Intern Program Handbooks

The Perkins Internship course is designed to guide students doing ministry in a supervised setting to reflect theologically on their experiences, the contexts of those experiences and their own leadership, even while they are learning and practicing essential ministry skills. Two handbooks lay out the process, requirements and tools of the Internship course, not only for the intern but also for the mentor pastor and the lay teaching committee.

The Intern Handbook provides information for current interns and their mentors and on-site supervisors about the requirements and evaluation process for the internship course. 

Each intern meets regularly with a  Teaching Committee at the internship site to receive constructive feedback. The Teaching Committee Handbook guides the committee in observing the intern's ministry activities, giving constructive feedback and support and evaluating the intern's learning during the internship.

Every form in these handbooks is also available on this website.
