Abstract

The project examines the process of developing a preaching internship program at First Baptist Church of San Jacinto, California with a California Baptist University student enrolled in the Bachelor of Applied Theology. Chapter 1 outlines the purpose, goals, context, rationale, and research methodology. Chapter 2 provides the biblical rationale for emphasizing the local church in training men for future pastoral ministry. Exodus 24:13 provides a biblical example of on-the-job training of a future leader in Israel. Second Timothy 2:2 is a New Testament description of local church pastors being directly involved in developing future pastors. New Testament ecclesiology is also examined by defining the church, understanding the universal church, and arguing for the primacy of the local church. Implications from Exodus 24:13, 2 Timothy 2:2, and New Testament ecclesiology conclude the chapter. Chapter 3 examines secular parallels and modern church models that balance the academic and practical training of pastors. This chapter discuses the background, needs, benefits, content, and challenges of various secular fields making use of intentional internships to train future leaders. The chapter also includes the rationale for and one example of a church centered model of training future pastors. Chapters 4 and 5 present the specifics of the ministry project. Organization of the evaluating professor, intern, Lay Evaluation Team, preaching assignments, sermon evaluations, and weekly meetings with the overseeing pastor are described. Also explained is the pre-evaluation/post-evaluation congregational questionnaire. Effectiveness of the project's ability to improve the intern's and the pastor's preaching skills is evaluated based on the data and discussions.
