Internships Described
Internships and other opportunities for on-the-job training are an essential part of ministerial training at Ohio Valley College. Students may be involved in internships in several ways.
    1. Some students obtain employment during the summer or during the school year in ministerial positions without receiving academic credit.
    2. Students may also seek summer employment which allows enrollment in Ministry and Missions Field Lab. These students complete a learning contract with a supervising faculty member outlining the activities and resources they will explore.
    3. Every student must, before graduating from the Bible program at Ohio Valley College, complete a practicum. These may be completed during the school year, but are most often completed during the summer months.
Churches interested in more information or hiring a student for continuing or summer employment under any of these internship models may contact the director of Bible programs (304-865-6007).
As a service, we post a listing of churches looking for summer internships with the contact information we have been supplied.

*Tabernacle Church of Christ
Tabernacle, NJ
Contact Bob Bliss; email
blissnj@home.com
Notes: Tabernacle is located east of Philadelphia about 30 miles. It is in a rural, farming community. Many of the members have been here all their lives. About one third of the congregation is transient. We average around 160 in Sunday AM attendance. We have four elders and seven deacons. We are the oldest congregation in New Jersey, dating back to 1914. We are rather conservative on the theological scale but not rabidly so. I have been here now five years. I enjoy working here and I'm sure I will make an intern's ten weeks here enjoyable as well. We are not looking for any special major but we do want the intern aware that we will work him in all areas of church work. Probably he will spend a majority of his time with the youth but he will still work in as many areas as possible. We want someone to see everything there is to see about ministry in a congregation. Our youth minister is one of our elders. He has been ministering to the youth here for 30 plus years. He loves the kids and they love him. We will house and feed our intern. We do hope that he has a vehicle of his own. Send resumes or their information to
