2026 Internships
GROW AND MATURE AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS
The Great Southern Internship Program (GSIP) has been established to grow and mature disciples of Jesus who can make disciples of Jesus. Originally a ministry of Albany Baptist Church, we have now joined with various churches around Western Australia to offer internships to Christians in their local context.
IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH
The local church is where you grow, are nurtured, and have opportunities to serve. Each intern is based in their local church for ministry practice and formation, while the GSIP Equip Course content is delivered both in Albany and in live online settings for churches outside the region.
DATES
The initial dates follow the Western Australian school terms. Week 1 will be a week-long intensive camp from Sunday 1st to Thursday 5th February 2025 at Camp Kennedy.
