Ministry experience
Put your learning into practice through church involvement, summer internships, missions, and student ministries.
Church Involvement and Internships
Church involvement
Alongside your studies, worship and serve with a CMC-approved church throughout the semester. Church involvement connects what you are learning with the life and needs of a local congregation.
Under the mentorship of a pastor, students grow as servants in the church and community. Students attend Sunday morning and midweek services and record their church involvement as part of their ministry experience.

Summer internships bring you into the work of a church or ministry. Work alongside a ministry mentor at CMC or a participating church or ministry in the U.S. or abroad.
Teaching, preaching, organizing, visiting, and praying with people connect what you study with the people you serve.
