The Bridging Ministry Placement is a significant opportunity for students to gain firsthand ministry experience in an immersive, real-life context. Partnering with one of the IBTI’s global church partners, students will spend 5-6 weeks serving in an established ministry, gaining practical ministry experience, receiving mentorship from experienced leaders, and connecting to a network of diverse church communities.

​

Each placement experience is tailor-made. The student is assessed according to their unique gifts, skills, and personal ministry goals, then assigned to a ministry context where they will have opportunity to learn, grow, and lead in those areas.

The Bridging Ministry Placement is a requirement for students interested in enrolling in the Level 5 Diploma course, unless they have the necessary prior ministry experience.

​

There is no separate cost for placement. Accommodation, food, and other essentials are all covered within the student course fees for the Level 5 Diploma course. The only cost the student must cover is travel fare to and from the placement location.
