The Latino Institute for Leadership Development at Christ the King, called La Masía, has designed a 12-month Internship Program for proven Latino leaders who have a few years of work and leadership experience (typically 25+ years old). If you have several years of faithfully leading others in ministry as a lay leader, strongly considering vocational ministry, and in seminary or interested in theological education, the Internship Program may be right for you.

The primary purpose is to identify and equip Latino ministry leaders for vocational ministry through theological training, intentional mentorship, and purposeful service.

While your schedule will change depending on your full-time job and what ministry you serve, a typical week could look like this:

• Monday - Friday: Vocational work and study
• Tuesday evening: Theological and Practical Training every 2 weeks, plus one-on-one coaching/mentoring with pastor
• Sunday: Attend and/or serve the Church (including visiting Christ the King, per schedule)

Interns can expect to have 4-6 hours of reading and study per week. They will attend training for 3 hours every other week and attend a call with a coach/mentor for 1 hour every other week. There will be strategic meetings that interns will be invited to attend, such as Staff, Leadership, Session, Deacon, Presbytery, and others.

Interns are given a small monthly stipend to encourage them in their study. As such, they are expected to work full-time outside of the church and to be living in Houston. Besides the stipend, Interns will be given all materials including books and have all-expenses-paid trips to two annual conferences. We strongly advise you not to apply if you have a considerable amount of student or consumer debt.
