The Minnesota School of Ministry (MNSOM) recently held its fifth annual Propel Internship Summit on July 11–12 at Celebration Church in Lakeville. For the past five years, MNSOM has provided this summit as an additional opportunity for students to grow in ministerial experience as they pursue their credentials.
Minnesota District ministers played a key role in the summit, generously sharing their expertise and investing in the next generation of church leaders. Their commitment helps cultivate a strong and growing culture of leadership development across the state. Students were encouraged to bring their spouses, mentors, or pastors as guests. A total of 40 individuals attended the event.
The Propel Internship Summit is the first of its kind among the 40 Assemblies of God District Schools of Ministry. To date, six Schools of Ministry from across the nation have attended the summit to explore how they might replicate the model within their own Districts or Networks.
While interns typically shadow their mentors throughout the internship process, the summit is designed to enrich those experiences. It offers in-depth teaching in ten different areas of ministry, facilitates the exchange of best practices across the state, delivers hands-on, practical instruction, and provides a comprehensive resource guide, both in print and in a digital library. The event also enables students to network with their peers, ask questions in real-time, and receive personal encouragement and insight from experienced ministry leaders.
MNSOM’s 2025–26 school year begins in September. Those who sense a call to ministry or desire to deepen their spiritual walk are encouraged to learn more and take the next step by visiting mnsom.org.
