Ministry Traineeship
Through the Traineeship, we desire to train believers for the work of the gospel.
What it is
Formerly known as the Ministry Internship, this Traineeship is a key part of our efforts to develop men and women for local church ministry and missions. Its main objectives for the trainees are:
To develop a biblical-theological vision and practice of ministry.
To provide the opportunity to gain practical ministry experience in a local church, under the direct supervision and care of GBC’s pastors-elders.
To further clarify their potential call to full-time, vocational ministry.
The traineeship is ten months long, running from July to the following May.

Who is it for
The traineeship is for Christians, both men and women, who are exploring the possibility of entering full-time, vocational ministry. It can help a person better discern God’s call on his or her life. Becoming a trainee does not necessarily commit a person to subsequent full-time, vocational ministry. It is part of the process of evaluating one’s suitability for such gospel work.
The traineeship is open to members of GBC and to those who are able to become members, at least for the duration of their traineeship.
After the traineeship, some trainees go on to formal theological education. Some may join GBC’s staff in various roles, depending on the needs of the church. Some may pursue a calling to cross-cultural missions. Some may decide to return to the marketplace and resume their ministry there.
