Lay Committees
The CLI offers this online
Lay Committee Handbook. It
provides useful information to help guide the appointment of
committee members, as well as how the committee should be
conducted throughout the internship. |

For Congregations
To be considered an internship site, the congregation's pastor must complete
a
congregation/site application. Applications are due by
February 1. Completed site applications will be viewable, in their entirety, to students from both
schools, thus increasing the number of students who will be
potential candidates for an internship placement.
The CLI is excited to have this
application process online! As technology continues to increase in value to our work,
we can extend its benefits to our internship supervisors. One distinct
advantage to having this application online is that a supervisor will only
have to complete the
application once. In subsequent years, the supervisor will only
need to make minor changes and updates to
re-activate the application.
The Horizon Internship Program is an
alternative internship program. It is a collaborative venture
of the Division for Ministry and the Division for Outreach, in
cooperation with the synods and seminaries of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America. It is an intensive and transformational
opportunity which aims to enrich the talents and skills of future rostered leaders for the ministry and mission of the church.
The responsibility of funding the internship is normally divided equally
between the ELCA, synod and ministry site.
Congregations wishing to pursue this
program will complete the
Horizon Site Application form, in addition to the regular ELCA
congregational site
application.
Expectations for Successful Internships
Supervisors and congregations wishing to join the program and
mentor an intern are expected to read the CLI's expectations of internship
sites. Awareness of these general expectations and a
willingness to meet them will be key to a successful internship.
Team Building Workshops
Supervisors of the sites receiving an intern are expected to participate in a
Team Building Workshop with their intern. Depending on which
seminary the intern comes from, supervisors will attend one of the
following:
- May 19-20, 2008 in St. Paul, MN, for Luther Seminary interns
and their supervisors
- May 28-29, 2008 in Berkeley, CA, for PLTS interns and their
supervisors
Evaluation forms
Interns, supervisors and lay committees will participate in a
series of evaluations throughout the
internship year. Evaluations are conducted at 3 months, mid-year, 9
months, and end of year (final recommendation).
