Each student will need to select a mentor
for his or her internship courses according
to the guidelines below. The same mentor
may serve for one or all three internship
courses (certificate level, license level,
and ordination level), as the student
desires.
1.
The mentor will generally be the
student’s senior pastor, a staff
pastor, or other person
designated by the pastor to serve
in the role of mentor. The mentor
must be a credentialed minister.
2.
If the student is the senior pastor,
the student should consult his or
her sectional presbyter to assist in
the selection of a mentor. In some
cases, the presbyter may serve
as the mentor, or the presbyter
may appoint a neighboring pastor
to serve in that role.
3.
The mentor must not be closely
related to the student. This not
only promotes objectivity but
broadens the student’s
experience by giving him or her
opportunity to learn from
someone other than a close
relative.
4.
The mentor must be a Licensed
or Ordained Minister. Licensed
Ministers may serve as mentors
to students seeking Certified
credentials. Ordained Ministers
may serve as mentors to students
seeking any level of ministerial
credentials. Certified Ministers are
not eligible to serve as mentors in
this program, unless a written
exception is made by the district
superintendent for a Certified
Minister who pastors to mentor a
student in the Certified level.
5.
The mentor must commit to the
time required in the Mentoring
Manual for each course. This will
involve weekly meetings with the
student for twelve weeks and
some additional time for
monitoring the student’s progress.
Where multiple students are
studying the courses in study
centers, some of these meetings
may be group meetings while
others will be on an individual
basis.
