Fundraising
Once you complete your student enrollment, we encourage you to begin planning and saving for your tuition at the Institute.
We strongly encourage you to invite others to partner with you in your ministry. Many students each year build incredible relationships with donors and see the Lord provide in unexpected ways. The simple fact is that most people that have an interest in your life are very willing to give but they need to be asked. Click below to our Fundraising Support page to find resources and examples to help you with this important step.
Internship
Kanakuk Institute students will have the opportunity to serve in the community by completing an internship or practicum for five hours a week, a total of 120 hours for the year. Students pursue, explore and advance their vocational pursuits while practicing the many Biblical discipleship skills they are learning at the Institute.
The Institute staff works with students to choose a practicum that will best fit their goals. Most internships are determined once you arrive in September.
If you are hoping to do a specialized internship, please contact Julie Brinkman at julie@kanakukinstitute.com.
Bible Reading Plan
To prepare you for your time at the Kanakuk Institute, we have created a simple Bible Reading Plan for you to build consistency and learn more about the Inductive Bible Study Method. Sign up to receive weekly emails and read through the book of Luke with us!
