Students frequently remark that their supervised ministry internships are among the most important experiences during their time at Union-PSCE.  After taking semesters of classes, students welcome this opportunity to test their wings by experiencing ministry in all its fullness.

Union-PSCE approaches supervised ministry internships holistically. OFEP works with each student to secure an appropriate setting supported by a trained site supervisor, supportive laity, seminary faculty, technology and peers. OFEP takes into account the unique educational/formational needs of each student, working with them to identify learning goals which become the foundation for a successful internship experience!
