How NHCC's Internship Program Supports Students' Financial Freedom

Words: Aaron Cordeiro

New Hope Christian College is the perfect option for those wishing to further their studies in ministry and gain handson experience at the same time. Whether it be for a degree in pastoral studies or creative arts, the college’s tuition assistance program makes it possible for students to finance their education as they go. With scholarship and internship opportunities available, every student is equipped to dedicate their full attention to academics, ministry training, and practical application while becoming Kingdom leaders who are capable of advancing the church’s mission.

The New Hope West Internship gives students a one-of-akind opportunity to gain real-world knowledge in the realm of ministry. This provides students with a platform to be mentored and participate in a practicum where they can put their gifts to use and learn from experienced practitioners. Various ministry practicums are available that are tailored to each student’s field of study, including: children’s ministry, worship team, online ministry, graphic design, production and media, counseling, youth ministry, marriage and family ministry, and much more. After completing their studies, graduates can proudly display over 1,600 hours of practicum experience on their resumes, which is a significant advantage that cannot be gained from a regular classroom setting. New Hope Christian College strives to provide a biblical and multidimensional leadership experience that provides a solid foundation for the future.

"There are so many opportunities to get involved, serve, and lead in both the church and college! I was able to take the things I learned in class and practically apply it to the ministries I am involved in. I feel well equipped, prepared, and confident in regard to my future in ministry."

Josiah Hernandez (Class of 2023)
