DOCTRINE

TIME AND FINANCES

There are 3 “trimesters” in which SV internships occur (fall, spring, and summer). To gain the necessary development and ministry training of an effective internship, interns are reasonably expected to participate in ministry during normal weekend worship times and available hours throughout the week. Specific times will be worked out with the assigned Campus Staff Mentor.

SV will help offset expenses incurred by interns through a $500 stipend each semester as well as a $500 scholarship to their educational institution each semester.
