Do Interns work on Sundays? 
All Interns will be a member of our Dream Team (campus serve teams) serving at our Wednesday Night Worship and Sunday Services and will also attend staff meetings. The ministry directors/coordinators will determine the role for each Intern position. 

Is the Internship paid? 
This is handled on a case by case basis directly from the Lead Pastor at CHR.  However, if someone is earning college credit through the Internship program, the guidelines set forth by the college or university in regards to compensation will be followed. 

How can I get college credit? 
If your college or university offers Internship opportunities, we will work directly with your counselors and/or professors to ensure you meet all the necessary requirements.

Will CHR help Interns with housing? 
This will be determined on a case by case basis by the Lead Pastor at CHR. Interns will stay with “Host Families” from within the Church depending upon availability. 

Do I need a car or transportation? 
Yes. The majority of responsibilities of our Interns require them to have a reliable form of transportation. This ranges from daily job responsibilities, being able to get to and from work and serving throughout the week.
