The Missions Ministry Internship (MMI) is a year-long program consisting of 30 interactive online lessons (about 8 months), 8 weeks of practical missions experience, and a self-funded mission trip.

The course year begins in April after Urbancrest’s annual Missions Conference, which takes place each March in Lebanon, Ohio. The graduates receive their completion certificates at the following year’s Missions Conference.

This course is designed to help believers as they navigate God’s call on their lives, whether they are led to work in local ministry, full-time missions, or desire to live out the Great Commission in their daily lives.
