This year, Colonial has four student interns serving in five ministries. Our interns are learning while serving and gaining real-world experience that will better prepare them for future ministry and careers. Videographer and Communications Intern, Amy Justice, recently interviewed these students. We know you’ll enjoy getting to know them better.
