Internships
NPEA is committed to raising up the next generation of ministry leaders through ministry internships. Our internships give students and young adults the opportunity to gain hands-on ministry experience, develop practical skills, and grow in their calling. Whether you’re serving alongside a church plant, leading outreach programs, or supporting ministry events, these internships are designed to equip you for long-term impact.
Donors, sponsors, and charitable giving fuel training, ministry, and the opportunity for interns to discover and develop their calling. Special thank you to those who support this incredible mission. Below you’ll meet some of the interns whose lives and ministries have been shaped through NPEA.
