Answer the call and apply for the Bright Internship 2022!
There is nothing more exciting than living a life completely sold out for Jesus. God doesn’t want some of us, he wants all of us. He whispers “follow me”, and we choose what happens next. If you have a teachable spirit and a desire to grow in your relationship with Jesus express your interest today for the next internship intake at Bright Church!
In 2022 there are three pathways to choose from. These pathways offer the opportunity to balance other life commitments, whilst still being able to benefit from experiencing incredible leadership coaching, mentorship and ministry opportunity. Pathway 1 will accredit you within the year with a Diploma of Leadership from Alphacrucis College. Pathway 2 facilitates the opportunity for you to complete this accreditation part time. Pathway 3 allows you to choose not to complete higher education study and still benefit from incredible teaching and being a part of the internship program.
During the course of the internship, you will receive:
- Mentorship from a Bright Church leader
- Face-to-face leadership teaching
- Ministry and theology tutorials and group lessons
- Real-life ministry experience
- Enriching off-campus events

Ps Ben & Sarah Fagerland
“We have full confidence that if you devote a year to an internship at Bright Church, you will grow in your leadership and communication skills as you deepen your understanding of God.
The teaching, leadership coaching and ministry experience at Bright will transform you and propel you towards reaching your potential.
It’s our passion to see people develop into who God has created them to be and we’re excited to see the transformation in anyone who takes up the challenge to give God one year.”
