Should Your Church Hire Interns?

It’s finally spring, which means it is the time of year when many students begin looking for internships and businesses seek out interns.

Have you considered using interns for your church?

Whether or not internships are new to your church, it’s important to know the legal, tax, and risk management responsibilities involved. Learn what you need to know in this article on internships, which we’ve unlocked for you until April 13.

This article is included in a four-part series on employment created by attorney Frank Sommerville. The series also offers guidance on the ministerial exception, job descriptions, and employee handbooks. For access to the entire series, including three downloadable PDFs, become a member today.
