What will I learn?

The Intern Experience was created to help individuals discover if a career in ministry could be for them. It’s designed to make them more aware of their strengths, weaknesses, and identities. They get the opportunity to play a role in the weekly tasks required to make Sundays and events possible. They will be given leadership opportunities and will be personally developed through monthly trainings and one-on-one conversations with staff members. Our goal is that interns will develop a better understanding of what their next steps in life should be and will feel more equipped to take those steps.
