INTERN PROGRAM

An intern would partner in the planning and executing process, including being a small group leader, lead games, have opportunities to give messages/sermons, and participate in worship if able.

Our Children’s Ministry is designed to help children and families connect to Jesus and His Story through worship, discipleship, and outreach. We hope this internship will provide experience in all areas of children’s ministry within the context of the larger church. CM interns participate in learning opportunities while engaging in relational ministry with children and their families. An intern would work alongside the Children’s Ministry team in creating, implementing, and leading ministry programming for children that invites and encourages them to encounter Jesus Christ and grow in their faith and with others. This internship will allow interns to explore their gifts and calling to vocational ministry and develop spiritually.

Interns will help with engaging the city through our Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) assessment, engaging new people to help them connect with our church family, and assisting in our ongoing efforts towards holistic diversity.

A worship and production intern at Grace would have the opportunity to have hands-on experience in all of the various aspects involved in executing a Sunday service - administrative, creative planning, musical, technical, pastoral, etc.

An intern would work in one or both of these areas, helping to support small group leaders, second hour teachers, as well as facilitate conversations and training opportunities. The intern will also help other staff members stay informed with what is taking place in these arenas and the good work taking place in this sector of community life. The intern will also have the opportunity to collect various stories of God's work in these ministries, while also communicating those stories to the broader congregation.
