These are multi-faceted, paid internships providing opportunities to lead and encourage church groups. Also, hands-on ministry in an area that interns are passionate about, which may be with a partner ministry or agency. They also include a framework for spiritual growth as Mission Indy staff intentionally pours into and disciples each intern. The Internship is 9 weeks in length.
The summer begins with two weeks of training. During these two weeks, interns gain practical skills training and have in-depth discussions on the nature of the Body of Christ and how Christians should respond to current issues. The interns then spend the next seven weeks alternating between leading church groups and working with assigned ministries. The summer ends with a debrief session that reflects on all that has been learned and experienced. Mission Indy's prayer is for interns to continue to grow spiritually and increase their love for the church.

Mission Indy was an amazing experience, and it has helped me grow in countless ways. From my leadership skills to my relationship with God, the ways I have developed have made me a stronger Christian and stronger woman. I enjoyed all of my experiences, but my favorite part of the summer was getting to observe the relationships that were built and strengthened in the youth groups that came to serve with Mission Indy. Seeing their growth together was a remarkable testament to the love and power of God. -Tony Skillington (2021 Summer Intern)
When I began Mission Indy this summer, I had no idea at all what I was getting into, but it soon became one of the most valuable experiences of my life.

As I sit here and read about covalent and ionic bonding and chemistry, my mind tends to wander to other personal bonds that I have made, because, let's be real, personal bonds are more relevant than those chemistry ones, right? And they generally tend to last longer too. This past summer I had the awesome opportunity to be an intern at Mission Indy, an organization that teaches others how to serve, love and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
