Summer Internship Program

Description

Is God calling you to ministry? For over 75 years, The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has proclaimed the Gospel through its various ministries. Whether you work at our headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove (BGTC) in Asheville, North Carolina, Blue Ridge Broadcasting (BRB) in Asheville, North Carolina or a field office abroad, you are part of a team of committed Christians working together to reach people to the ends of the earth with the Gospel.

All employees proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through their employment, and thereby further BGEA’s religious mission.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Internship Program provides college students and recent graduates with opportunities to gain practical experience while using their skills to help advance BGEA’s mission of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Interns serve in various departments and ministry areas at BGEA locations in Charlotte or Asheville, North Carolina. Department assignments and specific projects vary based on ministry needs and available internship opportunities.

Throughout the program, interns work alongside experienced BGEA staff, contribute to meaningful projects and day-to-day ministry operations, and gain exposure to the work and mission of BGEA.
