Pastoral Internship

Why do we have the internship?

Willingdon’s vision is to be a family where everyone is on mission with Jesus. We desire to pursue multigenerational disciple-making that results in the transformation of lives and neighbourhoods. In line with this vision, we are intentionally raising and sending people to teach everything that Jesus taught, in partnership with like-minded churches and ministries to transform lives in Vancouver, Canada, and the world.

What is the internship?

Willingdon Pastoral Internship is a one-year, full time program designed to prepare participants in the context of the local church for life-long ministry. Through this program you will gain practical ministry experience and relevant, applicable Bible teaching and personal mentorship. If Christ is calling you, our desire is to develop your ministry skills, increase your biblical knowledge, grow your character, and discern your ministry calling.

What will you learn?

We seek to fortify three main areas in the lives of our interns:

1. Biblical Foundations – To solidify biblical theological understanding and biblical application
2. Ministry – To develop ministry skills and experience in applied theology
3. Character – To develop a Christ-centred, God-honouring interior life that will guide your life, ministry and leadership
