ADVENTURES + EXPERIENCES
Throughout the year, the internship team will embark on a number of outings where the team will grow together in Christ-like community all the while bonding as a team, having fun, and experiencing the diverse cultures found in our city, our province, and our country. These outings have included a retreat to Kenora, various local outings, and an end-of-year conference trip. The cost of these along with all team adventures are built into the cost of the internship.

ACADEMICS + EDUCATION
Our interns will be developed through accredited courses taken through Horizon College and Seminary. Our interns faith will be stretched and deepened all while they gain transferrable university college credits. Interns have also participated in local retreats, conferences, leadership development seminars, and in-house classes through Soul Sanctuary in order to be developed as followers of Jesus and as local church leaders.

ADVANCEMENT + MINISTRY
Interns will spend approximately 20 hours a week working and serving alongside Soul Sanctuary staff and servant leaders, leading in various capacities, hosting events at the church, and serving in ministry areas that fit their passions and gifts. Above all, the spiritual health and maturity of each intern is our utmost priority. With that, interns will be challenged in their faith and will be guided in the practice of spiritual disciplines where they will be encouraged to regularly practice these in their lives as they strive to seek after the Holy Spirit and his transforming work to become more like Jesus.
