INTERNSHIP EXPECTATIONS
I Timothy 4:12 “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” As a Generation Intern™ you are to be an example in your speech, your lifestyle, your love for God and others, your attitude of faith, and in your moral purity.

Pledge Of Honor | The Pledge of Honor outlines character choices and disciplines consistent with the lifestyle of a Generation Intern™ at The City Church™. The framework for these expectations are explained in further detail in the Pledge of Honor form at the back of this brochure and include: Intimacy, Character, Authority, Study, Stewardship, Health, Faithfulness, Purity, Fellowship, Leadership, Focus, and Excellence.

Relationships | This season, as a Generation Intern™, is being set aside for the development of intimacy with God and His Word. We ask our interns to set this time aside and focus on your training. Keeping this focus will maintain the integrity of this program and provide you with the full benefit of what this program was designed to produce.

Employment | We realize that as a Generation Intern™ you may desire to pursue some type of part-time employment in order to meet your expenses. Because of your commitment to Generation Interns™, we recommend that you limit your part-time workweek to 20 hours or less.

Ministry Trips | One of the vital parts of your training as a Generation Intern™ will come through participation in one of our ministry trips. These trips vary in location and duration each year. There are both national and international opportunities provided as the Lord directs. For every Intern, a percentage of your tuition has been allocated for trip expenses, primarily the airfare. Depending upon the specifics for each trip, there may be additional expenses that you will be responsible for in order to participate.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Certificates of Completion will be awarded to Interns who have successfully completed the course set before them in the following areas:

Instruction Standards You must complete all assignments and worksheets on time and maintain at least an 80% average for credit courses.

Ministry Standards You must receive above average ratings in your Ministry Tracks, based on promptness, attendance, completion of tasks, attitude and the completion of a ministry track journal.

Mentoring Standards You must maintain consistent attendance and leadership in a Cadre (small group through Generation Church™ or Young Professionals Ministry).

Attendance Standards You can not acquire more than three unexcused absences per semester. (Excused absences include: The City Church™ Mission Trips & Outreaches and pre-arranged excused personal absences.)

Financial Standards You must be current on your financial obligations each month and be paid in full at the time of graduation.

DISCIPLINARY PROCESS
To maintain the standards and integrity of the Generation Intern™ Leadership Training Program, if any of these guidelines, pledges or standards are violated, the following actions will be taken:

1. Warnings If the need arises, a warning will be given and the Intern will be placed on a fifteen day “probation”.  If there is no measurable change, plans for dismissal will be initiated.
2. Dismissal from Generation Interns™ If for any reason the warnings have not resulted in measurable change, the Intern will be dismissed from the program and released from any further obligations to Generation Interns™.
