Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a laptop or tablet?

A lot of the practical components and portfolios an Intern will be outworking throughout their Internship will require them to have a laptop and/or tablet as much of what happens within Citipointe Church is organised through Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Elvanto, Basecamp and any other systems that we use to run the world. Therefore, each Intern is required to have some form of device (laptop or tablet) to use throughout the duration of the course. If this is totally not possible in a given case, we are happy to discuss other arrangements.

What are the standards that participants must abide by?

Being a Citipointe Intern is an honour and a privilege. For a whole year you will be part of the behind-the-scenes action of one of Australia’s great churches. With this privilege comes a certain level of responsibility. Part of upholding this responsibility is agreeing to our Citipointe Church Heartbeat Document and other legislative documents.

Can I do my practical work back in my local church?

Of course! You will participate in class at one of the Citipointe locations near you, and can outwork the practical components of the course back through your local church. For further information please contact internship@citipointechurch.com.

How long is the course?

The Citipointe Internship is a 1 year course running in 4 x 10 week Terms. We have two intakes each year; one in January (1st Semester) and one in June/July (2nd Semester).
