Intern: 2019, Ascension PCA, Edmonds, WA
Where were you in your process of ministry development?
In seminary, and pastoral intern at Ascension Presbyterian Church
PacRim afforded me a unique opportunity, and one which seminary does not traditionally provide–the opportunity to sit with and learn from pastors as pastors. And not just any pastors, but pastors who were 1) especially experienced and gifted in a particular area of ministry, and 2) presently ministering in the Pacific NW. As someone hoping to enter gospel ministry in the PNW, I found it especially encouraging to learn from men who are currently pastoring in this region and know its unique features and oddities along with their respective challenges and joys.
Any highlights from your experience?
The cohort meetings and events were definitely the highlight of my experience with PacRim. Spending time with local pastors, as well as the other interns, was what made this internship especially fun and unique.
What are you doing now?
Presently finishing my last year at RTS.
