This internship is intended for Christian brothers who are seeking, or have already resolved, to serve God in pastoral ministry and church shepherding. Whether you are already serving in ministry and want to pause and carefully reflect on struggles you’ve faced in pastoral work, are planning to step into a pastoral role, or are preparing for church planting, this internship is suitable for you.

Second, please understand that we are a Chinese Baptist church located in the United States. That means our church shares the same cultural context and challenges as other Chinese churches in North America. If you hope to gain pastoral experience through an internship at our church, or to get a preliminary understanding of the situation of Chinese churches in North America, we warmly welcome your application. If you would like information about other similar internship programs in the Chinese-speaking world, we are happy to introduce them—please feel free to ask.

If you are an international seminary student studying in the U.S. on an F-1 visa, we welcome you to consider participating in our internship using CPT or OPT.

神學⽣或神學畢業⽣可以更好更快地吸收和理解閱讀和觀察到的內容，但神學⽂憑並不是必須的。

Seminary students or graduates may be able to absorb and understand the reading materials and observations more quickly and effectively, but a seminary degree is not required.

（1）預算

我們按照⼀個單⾝弟兄的標準設計了⼀個預算，具體情況詳⾒下⽅表格。每位實習⽣每⽉的預算約為 2500 美⾦，這預算包括了實習期間的差旅、讀書、和⽣活費⽤。

• 如果實習⽣是被其他⾮⼤陸地區的教會所差派，那麽差派教會、本教會、實習⽣本⼈籌款將按 2:2:1 的⽐例負責這筆預算；

• 如果實習⽣來⾃⼤陸地區教會，或是本教會，或者實習⽣本⼈所委⾝的教會不打算差派他參加這 ⼀訓練，那麽本教會、實習⽣本⼈籌款將按 4:1 的⽐例負責這筆預算。

• 實習⽣個⼈承擔的費⽤需⽤籌款的⽅式進⾏，這是邀請別⼈與你同⼯的⽅式。

（2）分配

我們計劃將⽣活花銷的部分以津貼的⽅法發放給實習⽣，即每⽉ 800 美⾦。其他部分則由教會負責協 調解決。

實習⽣預算（6 個⽉） 住房花銷 - $8400 ($1400/月)

⽣活花銷 - $4800 ($800/月)

書籍、差旅和其他 - $1800 ($300/月)

合計 - $15000

(1) Budget

We have prepared a budget based on the standard of a single brother. The detailed breakdown is shown in the table below. The monthly budget for each intern is approximately $2,500, which covers travel, study, and living expenses during the internship.

• If the intern is sent by a church outside of Mainland China, the sending church, our church, and the intern personally will be responsible for this budget in a 2:2:1 ratio.

• If the intern comes from a Mainland China church, our church, or if the intern’s home church does not plan to send him for this training, then our church and the intern personally will cover the budget in a 4:1 ratio.

The portion of the budget to be covered by the intern personally should be raised through fundraising, which is also a way to invite others to partner with you in ministry.

(2) Allocation

We plan to provide a monthly stipend of $800 to interns to help cover living expenses. Other needs will be coordinated and arranged by the church.

Interns Budget (6 month)

Category Housing Cost $8400 ($1400/month)

Living Cost $4800 ($800/month)

Travel, Books & Misc. $1800 ($300/month)

Total $15000

實習的⽬的是培養未來的傳道⼈和⻑⽼，所以我們不接受姊妹參加實習。

The purpose of the internship is to train future preachers and elders, so we do not accept sisters for the internship.

對於有家庭的實習⽣，他和他的妻⼦都需要加⼊本教會，否則實習就會⾃動終⽌。然⽽實習期間的津貼 仍按已經定好的標準，有家庭的實習⽣可額外籌款，籌款額度需經接收教會⻑執會批準並⽤實習⽣個⼈ 賬⼾進⾏。

For interns with families, both the intern and his wife must join our church; otherwise, the internship will be automatically terminated. However, the stipend during the internship will still follow the established standard. Interns with families may raise additional funds, but the amount must be approved by the church’s elder board and handled through the intern’s personal account.

實習期間有美國國定假期，沒有年假、事假（緊急家庭狀況除外）。但是如果那天有作業要求，你仍然 需要按照計劃提交作業。實習期間可能會有 1-2 週複習或外出培訓的時間，那可以被視為適當的假期。

此外，由於實習的密度和強度⽐較⾼，因此，請不要在實習期間為⾃⼰安排任何以個⼈需要為理由的出⾏（包括對其他教會的講台⽀援）。

The internship observes U.S. public holidays, but there are no annual or personal leave days (except for emergency family situations). However, if an assignment is due on a holiday, you are still required to submit it according to the schedule. There may be 1–2 weeks during the internship set aside for review or off-site training, which can be considered as appropriate time off.

Additionally, due to the intensity and workload of the internship, please do not schedule any personal trips during this period, including supporting other churches’ services.

在實習結束後，你有完全的⾃由決定下⼀步的去向，事實上你應該在實習前或者實習過程中就已經想好 了。你可以去讀神學，你可以尋找⼀間地⽅教會參與服事，也可以去找⼀份⼯作上班，你也可以繼續作 為成員留在本教會。要註意的是，本教會既不承諾，也沒有責任為你安排下⼀份⼯作、或者資助你去讀神學。

After the internship, you have complete freedom to decide your next steps, and in fact, you should have already considered this before or during the internship. You may choose to pursue theological studies, join a local church for ministry, find a regular job, or remain as a member of our church. Please note that our church neither promises nor is responsible for arranging your next position or funding your theological education.

我們⿎勵你盡早提出申請，越早越好。為了更好的安排實習⽣所需⽤的⼀切書籍和材料，實習項⽬申請 的截⽌⽇期通常在實習正式開始前的四個⽉截⽌。

We encourage you to apply as early as possible—the earlier, the better. To ensure that all necessary books and materials for the intern are properly arranged, the internship application deadline is usually four months before the official start of the program.

⼤部分閱讀書籍都有提供中英⽂雙語版本，⼤多數參與的牧者和實習⽣也都可以使⽤中英⽂進⾏閱讀， 寫作和交流。因此，只要你能夠理解⼀些基礎⽇常的中⽂⼝語，即可參與本教會的實習項⽬中。我們特別⿎勵華⼈教會中的第⼆代基督徒考慮參與其中。我們也可以依照實際情況，使⽤英⽂進⾏討論和學習。

Most of the reading materials are available in both Chinese and English, and the majority of participating pastors and interns can read, write, and communicate in both languages. Therefore, as long as you can understand basic everyday spoken Chinese, you can participate in our church’s internship program. We especially encourage second-generation Christians in Chinese churches to consider joining. Discussions and learning can also be conducted in English when appropriate.

我們要求每⼀位實習⽣都要為⾃⼰購買醫療保險，來擔負你（和你們家）在實習期間潛在的醫療費⽤。

We require every intern to obtain health insurance to cover potential medical expenses for themselves (and their family) during the internship.
