Life as a Headquarters Intern

Has God gifted you in areas like finance, accounting, law, marketing, technology, graphic design, writing, or organizing? Have you ever wished you could use those gifts to strategically build God’s Kingdom in full-time ministry? The DiscipleMakers Headquarters Internship gives you that opportunity! You’ll experience:

  • Gospel-Saturated Community: You will live together in the same apartment complex with other interns, enabling your community to be a tremendous source of encouragement and growth in Christ. You will also work alongside campus interns, participating in team meetings, aiding them in evangelistic Bible studies, and helping with weekly fellowship meetings.

  • Kingdom Impact: The work you do will multiply the efforts not only of your fellow interns, but also of the entire DiscipleMakers staff team! Because of that, you will leave a lasting legacy of disciples across every single one of our campuses, in addition to those you invest in personally at Penn State.

  • Real-World Experience: You'll learn about many facets of life in full-time ministry while getting valuable business experience. In many cases we can work with your adviser to help get you academic credit for your participation in the internship.

  • Transforming Discipleship:  As an intern, you will be discipled regularly by DiscipleMakers staff. The Lord will use them to lovingly speak gospel truth into your life, helping you change from the inside out. You will likewise have opportunities to disciple other interns and students that you meet.

  • Application-Oriented Bible Study: You will participate in what may be the most in-depth Bible study you have ever experienced. We’ll study the Scriptures together for two hours each week, and you’ll spend three hours or more studying the passage to prepare in advance. By the end of the summer, you’ll have grown tremendously in your ability to accurately handle the Word of Truth.

  • Tight Teamship:  You’ll work closely together with others as a team in order to encourage one another in ministry, plan events, and develop as leaders. Weekly team meetings will help you to serve together effectively for Christ's Kingdom.

A Window Into Life as a DiscipleMakers Staff

This internship also provides an insight into life as a DiscipleMakers headquarters staff, helping you determine whether the Lord may be leading you to apply for DiscipleMakers after college. It is not like any other job or internship out there, because you won’t just be serving a company — it is a lifestyle of living for Jesus. As an intern, you will do many of the same things our headquarters staff do on a regular basis, including:

  • Planning and coordinating how to multiply the work of DiscipleMakers staff, resulting in more disciples of Jesus

  • Growing in the Lord through developing goals, being discipled individually, and participating in team meetings

  • Participating in the ministry happening on campus and attending fellowship events

  • Discipling students and peers

  • Learning how to live out the gospel in the workplace, working strategically and faithfully as a testimony to Christ

  • Inviting others to partner with your ministry through raising support
