Path 3 details

Local college + English in ministry.

The weekly schedule above is the in-person internship rhythm. Path 3 students follow a lighter version of it — full-time college during the day with one or two evenings of NHI internship and weekend ministry. Combine an F-1 college program at the University of Oregon, Bushnell University, or Lane Community College with Kingdom Collective housing. Applications, acceptance, and your I-20 are all handled directly through your chosen college.

College

Full-time enrollment at the University of Oregon, Bushnell, or Lane — who handle your application, acceptance, I-20, and F-1 visa.

Housing

Live at Kingdom Collective, our intentional Christian community house.

Internship

One or two evenings per week at NHI plus weekend ministry.
