What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lock-In Lab: Ministry Innovation Week position at OneHope's Cultivate Internship Program?
Cultivate, OneHope’s leadership development program, draws on over 30 years of expertise in research, program design, and outcome-based ministry. It provides a unique opportunity for students to discover their calling, enhance their leadership skills, improve ministry practices, and connect with the global church.
We are excited to launch a new initiative for Spring 2026: the Lock-In Lab. This 5-day, in-person immersive ministry innovation experience in South Florida during Spring Break is for those ready to design, create, and build for the Kingdom. Participants will lock in together to dream bold ideas, craft creative solutions, and develop tools for Gospel impact, exploring the role of artificial intelligence and emerging technology in global ministry.
Unlike a traditional internship, this is a week-long lab. You’ll join a small team, be onboarded to the organization, work on a focused project, and deliver a prototype or experiment within a limited timeframe. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to participate in reverse mentorship and share your insights directly with organizational leaders.
