CANVAS COLLEGE TRACKS

CHOOSE YOUR TRACK

Canvas College students play key roles on every ministry team at Canvas Church. From Worship to Kids, Operations to Youth, you will be challenged to grow as a Christ-follower and a leader.

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.)

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

YOUTH

In the Youth internship, interns will have opportunities to be a part of small groups, message development, worship and camps. Students will gain experience to lead teams, work with volunteers, learn about pastoral care and grow in all areas of youth ministry. And of course, a big part of Youth ministry is all about having fun!

KIDS

In the Kids internship, students will experience all aspects of children’s ministry, including public speaking, small groups, worship and working with volunteers. Interns will get opportunities to lead teams and be challenged. The Kids’ team is all about creating opportunities for kids and families to experience God in a life-changing way through creating a safe and FUN kids’ ministry!

WORSHIP

The objectives of the worship internship are to gain theological understanding of the purpose and practice of worship, for students to be more aware of their own gifts related to music, and learn the technical and administrative components of worship ministry.

CREATIVE

The goal of the creative internship is to teach students the necessary skills to create videos, graphics, social media campaigns and photography. Creative media is a skill set that is in high demand in our current culture.

CONNECT

The Connect Internship provides a behind-the-scenes view of what the Connect Team members do, how to create connections in every life-stage, and discover ways interns can be connectors themselves. Interns get hands-on experience in connecting people, pastoral care training, planning events, being a part of the Young Adult ministry, and learning about our community partners/missions.

PRODUCTION

This internship emphasizes how healthy church culture shapes the ability of Production to create opportunities for people to experience God in a life-changing way. It will give students an overview of all major church production elements, and hands-on experience in a professional production environment.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

FIRST IMPRESSION

This internship is a one semester internship that exists to give students hands-on experience in creating welcoming environments for people to experience God in a life-changing way. Our goal is to create a warm and welcoming space – including friendly faces and free coffee – where people feel comfortable.

ONE INTERNSHIP

The goals of ONE internship are to help you learn about Canvas culture and to teach you the “Why” behind what we do, give you an overview of the different types of internships we offer, and to teach you basic life skills to set you up for success. This is going to be a season unlike any you have been in before. I am praying that you will make some amazing friendships, and that God will stretch you in ways you never thought possible.
