Ministry Inquiry Program

Participation in the Ministry Inquiry Program (MIP) provides students with leadership opportunities in a host congregation where members and pastors have agreed to involve the student in a variety of pastoral ministry experiences. These internships in a church provide students with a viable opportunity to test their pastoral gifts and interests in a welcoming congregational context.

MIP is administered jointly by Mennonite Church USA, Bethel College and the other four Mennonite colleges and universities in the United States. In most cases, funding is provided by Mennonite Church USA, area conferences, the college, the cooperating congregation as well as the student’s home congregation.

For more information, or to make arrangements for MIP participation, contact Dale Schrag, Director of Church Relations.
