What do I do about housing and transportation?
We do not offer housing and encourage you to search Craigslist, Airbnb, and VRBO for rentals in the Flathead Valley (Kalispell, Whitefish, Bigfork, Evergreen, Somers, and Lakeside).
Fresh Life Church members often offer discounted or rent-free housing to interns; these are considered on a case-by-case basis. Once you’re accepted into the program, please let us know immediately if you’d like to be considered for these options, as available.
We also recommend you have a vehicle to get around; public transportation is not well-established in Kalispell.
How does the college credit work?
Our summer internship is a non-degree program offering 3 college credit hours upon completion through Southeastern University (SEU), which partners with Fresh Life Church to host an instructional site on our Kalispell campus.
The fee for earning 3 college credit hours is $299.
