The day begins and ends with prayer  along with time for silence and contemplation. This is at the heart of what we do. In the house we have set aside a special place for doing this. 

There is the opportunity for Interns to do youth work, including leading school assemblies and going to the secondary school CU with Youth for Christ, Kingsbridge.  

There will be regular opportunities to discuss your life journey and sense of calling. This includes exploring authorised ministry within the Church of England with vocation advisors from this diocese.  

Interns travel on Tuesdays in term-time to Saint Mellitus College, Plymouth to attend introductory courses in theology and mission. 

This is without accreditation and assessment.

There are plenty of opportunities in the parish churches to help in visiting the housebound, shadowing the clergy and working in projects to help those that are struggling and in need, the sick, the lonely and the bereaved. 

Interns have been involved in delivering a range of worship services, including music ministry, reading, ushering, preaching, leading Services of the Word. 

Since Lockdown our churches have worked hard in digital outreach and livestream services. We need people to take this further and deeper. see www.theseasideparish.co.uk

A big part of the Interns' time is living in the community house, Swallows Nest, Malborough. Interns eat, shop, study, pray and manage the house together, as well as investing in each other. A chaplaincy team is there to support and mentor you.
