APPRENTICESHIPS


APPRENTICESHIPS: Clarify your calling.

Apprenticeships at Doxa are designed to give hands-on experience in vocational ministry. Ranging from 4-12 months, the ultimate purpose is to strengthen your ministry gifts and clarify your vocational calling. Many of our previous interns/apprentices have gone on to full time vocational ministry, and all have received clarity about what they want to pursue in the future. Throughout the apprenticeship you should expect:

-specialized training in different ministry departments
-very competitive compensation
-personal investment from our elders and staff
-to clarify your calling and gifts
-inclusion to staff outings, parties, and team events
-to directly impact ministry outcomes
-lots of laughter...we take team culture serious and have a lot of fun


We believe our internship uniquely provides a dynamic mix of theological education, spiritual formation, and hands-on experience.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
All interns are asked to participate in our Sunday gatherings when able and be a part of any of our community options at Doxa (we'll help you figure this part out!) Interns must be at least 18 years old and be living a life that reflects the character described in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.

ARE THE APPRENTICESHIPS PAID?
We've trained many different kinds of leaders in almost all of our ministry departments in the past. We have found that responsibilities and compensation are best determined based on the candidate's background and experience. The compensation we offer these roles for qualified candidates is VERY competitive and will be offered after 30 days to those with clear calling and ability in their department.
