Obligation is a debt of gratitude for a service or favor. Faith has 5 parts:
Hearing, Receiving, Believing, Speaking and Acting. Imbedded in the Word is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. People who have not heard the Word have no chance or a choice to believe, speak or act. We have an obligation to preach what God has done for us. Faith is not about what we see, but what we believe. We have an obligation to go out in His Name in His Power and share Him.

Our tuition is $3500 each year. This goes towards teaching resources, instructors, speakers, and various events and activities throughout year.
The Disciple Internship Program is available for ages 18-29.
We currently do not offer any housing. However, if you are in need of housing, please reach out to us. We will make our interns aware of any housing opportunities we come across.
We encourage you to work while you are in Disciple Internship, so long as you are able to manage your time. It is important to us that our interns live a balanced life of work and rest. We realize that working on top of your internship schedule will likely leave you with a busy schedule, so our goal is to come alongside you and help you find rest and balance in the midst of it.
Your schedule is made up of two components— classes and roles. Our class schedule ranges from Monday to Thursday, 8:30 AM-12 PM. Many of our intern roles take place in the afternoon; however, your specific schedule will depend on what role you are enrolled in. Some of them may require you to be here some weeknights and weekends. Also, we have Instructor Groups. Instructor groups are a mentorship-focused group time with DI Instructors that meet at various times on Monday, and serve once during the week, on either a Wednesday evening or a Sunday morning. Please call us if you have any questions. We would love to work with you if there are any scheduling conflicts.
We kick off each internship year by going on a 4 day retreat. The purpose of the retreat is to grow closer together as we seek God together. This is achieved through doing team building activities, casting vision and setting goals for the upcoming year, and most importantly seeking the heart of God on an individual and corporate level.
We bring the classroom and hands-on-training together so that each intern will be able to get both practical and inspirational training for the ministry.
At Disciple Internship, our goal is for every intern to graduate our program with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, and how it can be applied to their life in a practical and functional way. We believe that, as disciples of Jesus, it’s vital that we understand how to study and dissect the Word of God in order to accurately walk out God’s plan for each of our lives. As we dive into various topics, we encourage questions, critical thinking, and healthy discussion, as we believe that this is a crucial part of the learning and growth process. Our desire is that each intern will graduate equipped to thrive in every area of their life!
Topcis that will be covered range from Hermeneutics & the Book of Romans to Communication 101 & Current Cultural Topics.
Whatever you are called to do, we want to help you do it. Disciple Internship offers a wide array of opportunities that are designed to help you develop your skills in an area of your choice. You will gain invaluable hands-on experience and training by working with professionals in their area of expertise.
Within the ever-growing-and-expanding roles that you see here, there are many different opportunities and places for you. When you come to DI, our staff will work with you individually to help you get connected where you are called to be!
