C3 Leadership College has an exciting prospectus lined up for each student involving a tailor-made internship opportunity for students to be trained in the areas they wish to develop in and gain skills through study and various internship placements.
Study: Internship placement options revolve around a foundation of shared core study components and individual mentoring, with students completing either a New Zealand Certificate in Christian Ministry (Level 4) or New Zealand Diploma in Christian Studies (Level 5) and the New Diploma in Christian studies (level 6).
Internship Placement: The internship placement determines the areas of practical ministry relevant for training in a range of fields of church life and ministry, as well as input from some of the top ministers in the C3 Church movement.
Internship options include youth, worship, media & design, and leadership.
The programmes are offered through EDENZ Colleges (through their Lifeway Colleges department), who deliver the theoretical components and courses in the programme. This partnership allows C3 students to pathway into further study in the area of arts or ministry including a Diploma in Christian Studies (Level 6) or a Bachelor of Applied Arts (Christian Ministry Leadership). Graduates from this programme will be enabled to lead within the local church community.
Our aim is to develop students with security in knowing who they are in Christ, and confident in what He has called them to do. C3LC produces graduates who are empowered by the Word, equipped to pursue and fulfil their calling, effective in ministering the Gospel and trained to build the Church. This may be through Primal Youth or within a church department team.
Primal Youth churches have exploded across New Zealand, with one in almost every major city. The Primal Planting Stream is an opportunity to be a part of a cutting edge, pioneering team of passionate youth pastors hitting the streets and raising up a generation of young people to become strong influential leaders.
The internship stream involves one academic year of intensive training and preparation within C3 Auckland’s own City Primal where students are positioned in the team and encouraged to be ‘hands on’ with the inner clockwork and outreach of a thriving Primal. Students will also be given an opportunity to be a part of the new nationwide teen suicide prevention campaign and tour, UNDEFEATED.
Students may be selected to plant or grow a Primal Youth at the end of their training.
Be part of seeing the youth of New Zealand find their true identity, hope and purpose in their lives – join today!

Worship & Production
C3 Auckland has a long history of worship and song writing that has seen our music go out across the nation and the world. Be a part of the team that plans, mixes, lights, writes, and produces our Sunday worship and brings our church into the presence of God. From stage design and lighting through to playing in the band and leading worship, an internship through worship and production will provide a platform for students to truly get involved and grow their giftings.
Media & Design Collective
C3 Auckland has a booming design and media team, and is renowned throughout the C3 movement for its top level creative and visual communication work. Completing an internship through the media and design collective means working alongside qualified, experienced and talented designers to help tell the C3 story and communicate our message in a relevant and engaging way with print, ambient, digital, photographic and video based mediums.
Undefeated Tour
Primal Youth has launched a national teen suicide awareness campaign and high school tour, called Undefeated. An internship with UNDEFEATED will see students gain top-level event management skills, travelling the country organising and assisting in bringing an explosive Hip Hop & Dance show with a message of Hope to high-schools all across
New Zealand.
