Our Program
Our Summer Internship began in 2005 for the purpose of equipping students to serve Jesus. Interns work side-by-side with staff members on campus and in the community.
Our primary goal in this internship is to help UT freshmen thrive in college by finding friends for life and life in Christ. For the majority of the time, all interns are committed to participate in the UT freshmen orientations, which span seven weeks starting in June. In addition, interns will learn to work and coordinate on a service team. Other opportunities include participating in regional trips and mentoring junior high and high school students during a two-week program in July.
What We Do
Enjoy God’s Person
Enjoy God’s Person
We help our interns enjoy God’s person by nurturing their relationship with the Lord Jesus. We believe that the basis of our service comes from knowing Him and His Word in a living way. Throughout the summer, come gain insight from our staff members as they unveil God’s person within the Scriptures to strengthen your daily Christian walk.

Fulfill God’s Purpose
Fulfill God’s Purpose
Every summer thousands of new freshmen come to UT and begin to make decisions that will set their course for the rest of their life. Shouldn’t someone be there to tell them about Jesus? Join our staff members as they will guide you to learn valuable lessons in outreach and the gospel, reaching man and shepherding people to fulfill God’s purpose.

Together with God’s People
Together with God’s People
In our service to the Lord, we realize what the Lord wants is not an individual work, but to work as a team, especially together with God’s people. We develop our interns to learn real teamwork by praying together and coordinating on all kinds of dynamic projects in our service groups.
