Churches need passionate young leaders. Young leaders need opportunities to discover their gifts for ministry.

Encourage someone you know to apply for an Elisha internship. The mission of the Elisha Project is to support our Culture of Call with our students and provide an environment to uncover prospective ministerial leadership for our churches and other ministry settings in the Dakotas Annual Conference. The Elisha Project is an internship program that allows the opportunity for students to explore, discern their call and discuss with mentors and peers where God is calling them.   

Students who have completed at least one year of college, completed the application process and selected by the Elisha

committee will be assigned to a church and mentor. Applications are being accepted until March 24.

Please note interns will not necessarily be assigned to their home church or the church that recommends them but to a church and mentor that fits their needs and interests.

Internships will be ten weeks in length beginning at Annual Conference in June. During Annual Conference students will attend and represent their host church as a young adult lay member.
