It is amazing to see people, no matter where they are in their walk of faith, grow closer to God through weekly gatherings at Canvas Church. As a student, you will receive a greater understanding of the Bible and ministry through weekly interactions with the team at Canvas.
An Internship through Canvas College will allow you to earn 3 free credit hours per semester! Internship credits (a.k.a. experience practicum) count towards general electives in any of Northwest University’s degree programs – these credits are FREE, which is about a $7,000 savings over the course of 4 years.
Our Flex program is designed for students who are already more established in life (career, family, etc.) and want to pursue a degree but cannot commit to the weekly Canvas College Experience and Internship schedule.
Our Canvas College Team will work closely with you to find ways for you to earn the 3 credits of internship each semester. Or you can forgo the internship option altogether. (This option will require you to take 8 more classes over the timeline of a 4-year degree.)
ONE is the first internship for all Canvas College Experience students! The goals of the ONE Internship are to learn about Canvas culture and the “why” behind what we do. Learning experiences in this one semester internship range from an overview of the different internships at Canvas College to basic life skills that will set students up for success.
The Connect Team internship is a behind-the-scenes view of the Connect team at work! Interns learn how to be connectors of people by creating connections at every life stage and being a vital part of our Young Adult ministry. Interns also gain hands-on experience in planning events, pastoral care, and supporting our community partners and mission partners.
The objectives of the Worship internship are to gain a theological understanding of the purpose and practice of worship, for interns to gain awareness of their gifts related to music, and to learn the technical and administrative components of worship ministry. Interns become familiar with all the major church production elements and gain hands-on experience in a professional production environment.
This one-semester internship gives interns hands-on opportunities to create welcoming environments for people to experience God in a life-changing way. We aim to create a warm and welcoming space - including friendly faces, free coffee, and seven smiles from the street to the seat, all designed to help people feel comfortable and welcome.v
Youth Interns are part of small groups, message development, worship, and camps. Interns gain experience and grow in all areas of youth ministry, including leading teams, working with volunteers, and learning about pastoral care. And, of course, a big part of Youth ministry is all about having fun!
The Production internship gives interns hands-on technical experiences to create an engaging and immersive environment for people to experience God in a life-changing way. Interns serve on every part of the production team, including running cameras and ProPresenter, mixing sound, and learning to video switch. Interns encounter the heart and intentionality that goes into church production.
Creative team interns learn photography and how to create videos, graphics, and social media campaigns. The creative media skill set is in high demand in our current culture and is applicable to many career avenues. Interns go on video shoots, design fun and engaging projects, and make graphics that Canvas Church uses every week!
Kids’ team interns experience all aspects of children’s ministry, including public speaking, small groups, worship, leading teams, special events, and engaging with volunteers. The Kids’ team is all about creating opportunities for kids and families to experience God in a life-changing way by creating a safe and FUN kids’ ministry!
