CLTC believes it is important for students to have an opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the ministry and life of a local church. Secondly, CLTC must do what it can to strengthen the student's relationship with the church (or churches) which has sent them.

Therefore, as a part of the requirement for graduation, Bachelor of Theology students are involved in a one year internship ministry experience. This usually takes place in their home church or denomination after their second year on the CLTC campus.

Students are supervised by a pastor or qualified lay person (mentor), usually in their home church, in which they are given various responsibilities and are given opportunity to mature in their own gifts and character. During the internship, the student is responsible to the College as well as the church. The student must send monthly reports to CLTC. These are used as a basis for prayer and support as well as assessment. The student is also required to complete some studies which are intended to further develop their practical ministry skills as well as to encourage them to develop a lifetime of study of God's Word. The studies include two TEE courses.

The student is accepted back to complete the programme of study at CLTC upon the recommendation of their church.
