Do I get paid during my internship?

No. Like many internship programs, the church takes on many interns at once and subsidization is not available. However, the many previous Equip participants learn that completion of this program yields desirable advancements and learning experiences that give them an edge above the rest in the field of ministry careers.

Does it cost to be enrolled in Equip?

No. All housing and program costs are provided by Evangel Temple. However, there will be expenses that you will be responsible for which will vary on what department you are interning under and also what semester you are interning. Thus, financial support from either you or outside sources (family, relatives, etc.) are a necessity.

Do I have to find my own housing?

No. If you are from out of state, city or country, separated housing for both men and women will be provided. This is for your easy accessibility to the church as well as accountability for your social, personal and spiritual life while on staff during your internship. As mentioned above, the church will assume all housing costs.

How many hours should I expect to work a week?

Your work load and responsibilities is dependent upon what level of internship you fall under.
