Internship Program



Every student who receives a bachelor's degree from Lincoln Christian University is required to complete a professional internship relating to their area of study. The Internship Program at Lincoln Christian University has been developed to be an integral part of the student's training for ministry. LCU believes that students need an opportunity to experience ministry, to reflect upon that ministry experience with a mentor, to articulate insights which have been gained, and to plan for future ministry utilizing the newly learned insights. This learning context will help the student integrate previous learning, formal and informal, which will enhance his/her total educational experience. Ideas learned in the classroom will be tried and evaluated in actual ministry settings.

Lincoln Christian University's goal for the internship is to prepare Christian leaders for the world who are growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ, in their ministry skills, and in their vision for the Kingdom of God.
