Internship openings in the ministry areas of:
1) Children's Ministry, 2) Middle School Ministry and 3) Hope Worker/Foster Care & Adoption Advocate
GreenHouse Ministry: Understanding your calling through authentic discipleship, experiential ministry, & intentional community life.
We are accepting applications from those who desire to explore ministry in a hands-on, experiential environment in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO.

• We desire to cultivate the life-long process of becoming a disciple of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20). Just as he taught his disciples in an embodied way and invited them into the abundant life (John 10:10), we follow Christ by investing our time in community experiences and individual disciplines that lead towards a deepening of faith. This includes mentoring relationships, praying through Scripture, keeping a Sabbath, and spiritual retreats.
• We value spiritual formation in both the formal and informal sense. Interns have the option of exploring formal seminary education and informal retreats and conferences. We view learning not as an end in itself, but because it allows us to extend our passions into the world in meaningful and transformative ways.

• We are committed to practical theology as it is worked out in an experiential ministry context; we strive to understand how faith guides action in contemporary circumstances (Hebrews 11).

Intentional Community life:
• We are vitally interested in the creation of true community, a community marked by mutual care and interdependent responsibility (Acts 2:42). This means that we strive for a practical outworking of individual faith in a corporate context. Following the biblical model, we regularly share meals together, support one another through prayer, practice mutual exhortation, correction, and reconciliation, and devote ourselves to the truth found within the Word of God (Ephesians 4:25; 1 John 4:11-12; 1 Peter 3:8)
• We are committed to “green living,” i.e. caring for the earth and all within it. This means that we consider how every aspect of our lives - transportation, food, clothing and everything in between - affect God’s creation. We desire to be good stewards of all that God has given us (Genesis 1:26-31).

Continue to grow in your knowledge of God and in your relationship with God.
Be led and equipped by the Holy Spirit.
Build Relationships with Jr. & Sr. High and College Students
Lead weekly programs for Jr. and Sr. High students.
Help envision, discern and implement God's calling to our church to minister to college age students in the future.
Cooperate and collaborate with the Director Of Christian Education in planning and carrying out the confirmation program.
Share the good news of the Gospel with those students who do not know it.
Equip students who already know Jesus as Lord and Savior to deepen their relationship with Him and to grow as His disciples.
Recruit, equip, supervise and encourage youth ministry team members and leaders.
Develop student leadership.
Equip students to share the Gospel with peers.
Initiate and plan ministry activities that are consistent with the vision and mission of the larger church community.
As appropriate, plan, lead and implement conferences and retreats as well as local and international mission opportunities.
Attend weekly staff meetings.
The applicant will be required to live in the York County, Virginia area to facilitate relationships with the youth and their families.
Participate in the larger life of the church and be willing to be a part of the YPC church family.
Partner with the Sr. Pastor in prayer for the church, in visioning for the youth and college ministry and the ministry of the larger church.
WORSHIP LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
There is an opportunity to lead in our contemporary worship band if you have the musical and worship leadership gifts. However, this is not a requirement. Some of our High School students are active in this worship service and band so it could be a good fit if you have the gifts. Again, not a requirement of the position.

ABOUT YORKMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
As a church we are strongly connected to our reformed theology and filled with the Holy Spirit.
We are in an area that has a diverse population due to some military installations nearby. We also have a large NASA research facility in our area as well as some large corporate research and development institutions.
Our area tends to have a lot of people with very high academic and professional achievements as well as many higher-ranking military officers. Our church attracts a good cross section of that population as well as some retired military officers and retired NASA engineers.
We have a mixture of families who have had roots in this area for generations as well as families who are here for only a season due to service in the military or employment that tends to require relocation as they advance and are promoted.
We are not a country club church but do value and invest in building Christian Community. We feel the need to continually challenge ourselves to reach out further in our outreach and to not allow ourselves to grow complacent with the status quo. We take seriously our role as disciples of Jesus Christ.
There is some ethic diversity in our community as a result of the military, NASA and other corporate members of our community recruiting the best talent from around the world. Our church does not currently reflect the same level of ethnic diversity as our larger community does but we would like to explore ways for that to become our reality.
We are clearly Presbyterian, not Pentecostal, but we hunger for the leadership and power of the Holy Spirit to fill our church, inform our decisions and empower our ministry.
We value Youth Ministry as an essential part of our overall ministry. No more or less important than any other. We view youth ministry as an integral part of our body as apposed to a separate entity.

Regionally we are part of the 200 plus congregations of the Sierra Pacific Synod. We provide three services on Sunday mornings in which approximately 400 people worship. Our church family is also a member of the Willow Creek Association. To learn more about our church please feel free to visit our website at www.clcvisalia.org.
Our church is located in the diverse community of Visalia, CA. Visalia is the county seat of Tulare County which is centrally located within the San Joaquin Valley. Our cities current population is approximately 126 thousand people.
What the Bible tells us about this ministry:
2 Timothy 2: 1-2. “You then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.”
There was a very special relationship that developed between the apostle Paul, and Timothy, and it offers to us a model for discipleship and development of future church leaders. Paul fully realized that he would be unable to be in ministry forever, and needed to raise up leaders to follow after him. Timothy is reminded in the letters that Paul wrote to him, that ministry requires dedication, perseverance, and training. Paul saw something special in Timothy, and made the choice to disciple him and give him the tools to succeed.
As leaders we desire to lead people to develop their gifts, to lean into the power and love that God gives them, and then to move forward. We want to provide opportunities for them to take the next step in discerning God’s call on their lives. We want to give a biblical foundation, teaching, mentoring, feedback and practical applications that will allow them the very best chance at leading the church of the next generation. We are honored to have the chance to build and develop those who will accept the call that God has placed on their lives, and will be diligent in carrying out the vision that has been given to us.

Community Director - Military Youth Ministry,
Youth for Christ/US - Military, Englewood,
CO
Youth for Christ Military reaches out to teenagers of military families, and for over 30 years has been sharing the Love of Jesus Christ. There are nearly 300,000 teenagers of Active-Duty US Military parents stationed all over the world. These “Military Brats (term of endearment)” live in an environment where, ”The military mission calls all the shots – tells the family where and when it’s going to move, what the conditions are going to be and whether the father or mother is going away and for how long.” Many of these teenagers have been raised to sacrifice anything of what most people might consider a normal teenage life. They pack up and move from state to state, or country to country every 2 years or so. They are being raised sporadically in one parent homes, due to the fact that one of their parent's has to routinely deploy. The only thing consistent in their lives is the stress they have to deal with in being raised up in a military culture that has been engaged in multiple military operations most of their lives.
We are currently doing incarnational ministry on about 50 military installations around the world. Previous experience with military culture is helpful but not necessary as we train all staff to be successful in a military community.
Youth for Christ Military is praying for more talented youth ministry leaders (with a missionary mindset) to be on staff with this challenging ministry, and serve the teenagers of our US military service members. This is a great opportunity to broaden your experience in youth ministry, due to the fact we will train you to be considered "Subject Matter Experts" to our partnering chaplains on military installations throughout the US and around the world.
Please view our video about our ministry to Military Teens.
http://vimeo.com/25144925
Responsibilities:
• Actively and intentionally develop healthy relationships with adults as well as kids, and build vibrant relationships with the local community (both inside and outside of a military installation) and the Chapel community.
• Be responsible for the overall community outreach to "unchurched" teens, discipleship to Christian teens, and leading and equipping volunteers to do “hands-on” middle and high school youth programs as part of the military installation chapel ministry program.
• Work well in an environment that sees (due to high military operational tempo) a high degree of turnover among teens, families, Chaplains, and volunteers.
• Be respectful of and embrace a community that is deeply influenced by a military culture.
Qualifications:
• A deep love for Christ and for “unchurched” teens
• Passion for people and to lead them well
• Teachable heart
• Willingness to make a three-year commitment
• Minimum of three years youth ministry experience
• College degree preferred
• Willingness to raise some personal and ministry financial support

Year Youth Intern in Colorado Mountains,
Summit County Youth (SCY), Breckenridge,
CO
Come ski, bike, hike & inspire youth in the mountains of Breckenridge, Colorado.
Middle/High School Internship Opportunity for Sept-May
Come intern with an alternative youth ministry up in the beautiful mountains of Breckenridge, Colorado. Those interested will have assistance in locating affordable housing and/or roommates as well as additional part-time jobs as needed.
Summit County Youth (“SCY”) is a non-traditional Christian youth ministry based in Breckenridge, Colorado for middle school and high school students. SCY flows out of a faith community called Breckenridge Christian Ministries (BCM), which explores community life and ministry in Summit County. (Kairos is a group of young adults who seek to experience life together by pursuing the profound depth and beauty found in the teachings and life of Jesus which also flows out of BCM.)
Applicants for this internship must…
- have a desire to work with students and families with minimal church background
- be willing to challenge and re-think your own faith in a way that makes sense to
students today through books, articles, movies, music, conversations, etc.
- be a role model to students
- be willing to meet students where they truly are, and not expect or push them
to act like someone they are not
- be loving over being right, trusting that God is at work whether we see it or not.
- have a sincere interest and curiosity in a faith that is not focused on ideologies
but rather on who we are at our depths
For SCY, interns will…
- assist at weekly SCY gatherings
- lead a SCY breakfast/lunch/dinner each week to connect with students
- participate in a monthly SCY social event
- pursue students outside of planned SCY events
- contribute to regular SCY leadership meetings
- attend weekly worship at BCM
- make an intentional effort to have deep and meaningful connections in Kairos
“If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody... It is when the church gives itself away in radical acts of service and compassion, expecting nothing in return, that the way of Jesus is most vividly put on display... Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor, and our neighbor can be anybody. We are all created in the image of God, and we are all sacred, valuable creations of God. Everybody matters.” ~Rob Bell
If you have any questions or are interested in applying for this internship, please contact the SCY Director, Phil Gallagher, by email at summitcountyyouth@me.com. Thank you!

Student Ministries Pastor ,
Cumberland Community Church, Smryna,
GA
CCC SM Pastor job posting
4/25/2013
Cumberland Community Church is a growing community of 800-1,000 people. We sit on Atlanta’s edge of the I-285 perimeter. God has shaped us into a wonderfully diverse community striving to be a real part of the community we are in. Four to five times a year, we close down Sunday mornings so that we can BE the church and serve our community in many different ways.
We need a Student Ministries pastor who is wired for both inside and outside the walls. CCC is looking for a strong, relational leader who can nurture a team of adults to help build a dynamic community of discipled teens. This Student Ministries pastor will be directly responsible for 6th through 12th grade teens, but will be intimately connected with our kid’s ministry through “Orange” strategies. Developing intergenerational opportunities with “Sticky Faith” initiatives will also be a key component of this position.
Additionally, we mandate all staff to be highly relational, community group invested, and lifestyle ministry committed. We will require a minimum commitment of five years for any serious candidates. Young or old does not matter to us, as long as we can do this Kingdom thing together. Because of our diversity, having bilingual skills or a Hispanic background is a definite plus.
You up for this? Only serious disciples of Jesus who are passionate about the Church, teens, and families need apply.
Please email your resume, any teaching video files, and a digital photo to: jenoverly@cumberlandchurch.org

Campus MInistry Staff ,
CCO, Pittsburgh,

The CCO is a campus ministry that partners with churches, colleges and other organizations to develop men and women who live out their Christian faith in every area of life.
In addition to the partnerships, our ministry is distinct in that it is transformational - we challenge the students we serve to submit every area of their lives to Jesus Christ. And it is contextual, meaning that our staff people adjust to the needs of the particular campus at which they serve. No two CCO ministries look exactly alike.
We are currently looking to fill about 20 positions in a variety of partnerships including ministry to athletes, urban settings, discipleship houses, community boards, youth & college in a church and more. We serve campuses in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Ministry Intern,
Southview Community Church, Herndon,
VA
Southview is a church in Herndon, Virginia, part of the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., made up of people from nearly every continent in the world. Our area is a multicultural environment, with people from nations around the world, and Southview reflects that community. Southview’s ‘Project 57’ initiative, launched in 2010, is focused on doing whatever it takes to share the hope and love of Jesus Christ with the 57% of the northern Virginia community who are religiously unaffiliated. Through our web presence, we have had the privilege of impacting people around the globe, seeing lives changed for eternity. As we move forward, our goal is to expand our reach and ministry far beyond what we’ve done in the past. You are invited to come and join us in our mission.
Southview’s Intern Program is a training, education, and ministry opportunity for emerging church leaders. We’re looking for innovative, creative types who are self-starters – we don’t want to micromanage you any more than you want to be micromanaged. We’re looking for you to bring passion and enthusiasm for ministry! We’re not looking for any one denominational affiliation, style, or personality type – we are looking for those who love Jesus, are passionate, energetic, and who want the opportunity to try new things in ministry. Thinking outside the box is not optional here – it’s encouraged highly! Southview has a young, tech-savvy staff and a passion to do whatever it takes to reach people for Jesus. Change is a constant at Southview! If you have ideas for how ministry could be and should be, and are looking for a place to engage and innovate, Southview is the place for you!
This program is about leadership development and spiritual growth in the context of local church ministry. Southview’s Intern Program is part of our mission to be a teaching church. Just as a teaching hospital provides education and training to future and current doctors, nurses, and other health professionals in addition to delivering medical care to patients, so Southview is committed to providing education and training to future and current ministry leaders, pastors, church staff, missionaries, and others called to Kingdom work.
While you’re here you’ll have the opportunity to take advantage of being close to our nation’s Capitol. Washington D.C. has a plethora of museums and historical sites that you can visit, many for free or low cost. You’ll also have the opportunity to reach out and impact the lives of people who are business and community leaders in our country and in our world.
Interns are usually with us for 8-12 weeks, usually during the summer. They will focus on short term projects and events (i.e. summer camps for kids and youth, one time community outreach projects, short term web or social media projects, launching a new ministry endeavor like a ministry to couples or singles, commuter outreach, etc.). This is typically a 40 hour per week commitment for the duration of the internship.
Our goal is to design an individualized plan for each intern based on their gifts, passions, and talents that will challenge them, grow them, and help them to maximize their calling for future Kingdom work.
We see our role as much like that of the church at Antioch in the New Testament. Antioch was a church of prophets and teachers that became a sending church, ultimately sending Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. The church at Antioch was active in seeking and teaching those who were far from God no matter their background, no matter their culture. No matter where they’d been or what they’d done, they mattered to God and to the church at Antioch.
Similarly, Southview is comprised of people from many cultures and nations with talents and gifts that range from preachers to prayer warriors and everything in between. We’re at the heart of the nation’s capitol – and not by accident. We believe God is calling us to be involved in His Kingdom building in ways we’ve never imagined, ways that can’t be contained within the physical walls of a church, and ways which will impact the growth of the Kingdom for generations to come. Our mission is not only to impact our community here, but also to train leaders who will go and impact the Kingdom of God on an unimaginable scale.

Worship Leader,
Coastal Community Church, Charleston,
SC
Coastal Community Church is a non-denominational church is Charleston, SC. For many years the church was about 100-150 people, HOWEVER in the last three years the church has grown rapidly and now averages over 400 people a Sunday. As we continue to grow we are adding staff and looking at plans to build on our land (7 acres in the heart of West Ashley… a vibrant part of town 4 miles from downtown Charleston). We have a wide demographic of people that attend, however the main demographic of the church is young families (20's / 30's / 40's). We have an enormous focus on Evangelism and doing everything possible to reach the unchurched. Because this is where the majority our growth has come from it means we need to step up our ability to connect new people and develop healthy discipleship. Our current worship pastor is looking to shift more into this role of connecting people and overseeing volunteers, as well as overseeing the new worship leader as he develops and transitions into his role.
One of the key components to our growth the last few years has been the worship music and this is why we are looking for a full-time worship leader. This person will have the experience and ability to do the following:
Spiritually:
- This person must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a desire to work at a church who reaches the lost, and a desire to be in full-time vocational ministry.
- This person must have the desire to learn, grow, and be spiritually led
Music:
- Must be able to lead worship (preferably on guitar) and sing
- Must be familiar with the style of songs we play: Chris Tomlin, Hillsong / Hillsong United, Kristian Stanfill, Jesus Culture, David Crowder, etc.
- Must have experience with leading other musicians
- Must have experience developing new musicians
Creative:
- Have knowledge of sound equipment (and can learn what you don't know)
- Be able to learn about our lighting system
- Use of graphic design, video editing, etc. a plus
- Must be able to learn about set design / lighting design
Organization:
- Must be able to learn how to plan services start to finish (based on the vision for the series or service), including music, set design, special pieces, media elements (video / graphics), etc.
- Familiarity with Planning Center, Pro Presenter recommended
Hours / Other Responsibilities / Misc:
- Staff Meeting, Staff Development Meeting, Creative Team Meeting
- Thursday Night Worship Practice, Wednesday Night Youth Worship, 3 Services on Sunday
- Saturdays the office is closed and to be used as a Sabbath
- Office hours are flexible, but this is a full-time position
- Compensation will be based on experience
We're extremely excited about finding another worship leader who we can help take us to the next level at our church. The great thing about this position is that we are going to transition this person slowly, as we have a great team of musicians and leaders for them to get to know and develop relationships with. Our current Worship Pastor would slowly transition out of his current role and into a more overseeing role of the service.

University Ministry Internship (40 Weeks),
First Presbyterian Church San Antonio, San Antonio,
TX
University Ministry Intern Position Description
First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, TX
Our Church:
First Presbyterian Church is located in historic downtown San Antonio, just 3 blocks from the Alamo. A 3000 member church founded in 1846, FPC is the oldest Protestant church in San Antonio. Members come from many areas of the city for worship, education, and service. Traditional worship services are held in the sanctuary, with music led by the Minister of Music, choir, and organist. A contemporary worship service is held in the fellowship hall, with contemporary music led by a praise band. The Christian education program includes Sunday morning classes for all ages. During the week there are Bible studies and small groups in homes and at the church. FPC is committed to local and global missions, supporting 22 overseas missionaries and several mission projects. FPC has spearheaded several local outreach programs including: Christian Assistance Ministries (food and clothing), San Antonio Metropolitan Ministries (temporary shelter), and the Christian Dental Clinic. The church hosts a Sunday afternoon meal for the homeless and supports Haven 4 Hope, a revolutionary new campus for the homeless providing a wide range of coordinated services.
Our University Ministry:
FPCSA is a church family committed to investing in the lives of university students. During the school year, our ministry partners with the Episcopal Dioscese ministering together with Vital University Ministry which reaches students at the University of Incarnate of the Word, St. Mary’s University, and Trinity University. Weekly gatherings are held during the fall and spring semesters. The Fire takes place at Incarnate Word on Tuesday nights, The Bridge at St. Mary’s on Wednesday nights and The Well at Trinity currently takes place over lunch on Monday noons. Each gathering has a component of music, prayer, and a message. Dedicated student leaders from each university help make The Fire, The Bridge, and The Well known on campus. The students who attend our gatherings are encouraged to join our CORE groups led by an FPC member who is a mature Christian adult committed to walking alongside his/her CORE group students. We spend time on each campus during the week building relationships with students. Our groups also seek to serve the San Antonio community and the world through mission/service projects. We enjoy amazing retreats, fun and exciting planned outings, and we are always on the lookout for the occasional crazy unplanned random activity.
The second arm of our ministry is to our home grown students, and this happens in several ways. Care Packages! A few weeks before fall and spring finals we ship close to 100 care packages full of amazing study food and notes of love from their FPC church family. During the winter and summer breaks we have a weekly gathering for our students called CHOW. We meet in the home of a different FPC family each week. We eat great food, worship together and have a lot of fun. The students from Incarnate Word, St. Mary’s, and Trinity who are around during winter and summer are welcome at CHOW as well. Our ministry goal is to build authentic relationships and to “do life” alongside our students, encouraging them as they become mature Christian adults.
Our Interns:
At FPCSA we love having interns in our midst. We provide an opportunity for interns to serve alongside our dedicated staff and volunteers. This internship will be both educational for the candidate as well as vocational as the intern will participate, develop, and lead ministry projects throughout the year in partnership with our staff directors. This experience will also minister to the intern as s/he will be in community with other interns as well as staff in building meaningful relationships through weekly meetings, Bible studies, worship, and fun times of just hanging out! It is our desire to invest in the young leaders of the church, help them discover and further develop their own gifts for ministry, as well as learn how to balance a life of vocational ministry with their own spiritual growth and personal development. We seek to provide an experience where the intern feels better prepared and equipped to assume a staff position in any ministry setting.

Worship Leader / Student Ministries Director,
Cornerstone Church, Pittsburgh,
PA
Worship Leader & Director of Student Ministries
Ministry Position
Cornerstone Church a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, evangelical church of 150 parishioners located just minutes north of the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is seeking to hire a part-time Worship Leader and Director of Student Ministries to work in our exciting, unique, and expanding ministry.
Philosophy of Worship:
We believe that God has called people to engage in passionate and purposeful connection to him through personal and corporate adoration. Worship at Cornerstone intends to direct and assist the individual and congregation to encounter the wonder, power, and love of God. Worship is experiential to the participant while centering corporate focus on the person of God. As such, worship is intentional in its rich use of Scripture and its application through music, drama, exhortation, and other creative expression. Creativity and innovation are valuable to worship when they create fresh ways of drawing worshipers to God. Those leading worship find greatest joy in connecting people to God rather than in drawing attention to individual gifts and skills.
As a part of the Methodist tradition, Cornerstone is intentional in creating congregational participation and connection in a contemporary worship experience. We value skilled worship leadership and musicians who possess spiritual sensitivity and awareness in leading a congregation to connect to God in worship. Consequently, we believe that worship is at its best when it is participatory and engaging to the congregation at large. Congregational singing is an integral part of the worship experience which speaks to the heart and mind of the worshiper and it connects the church to the Lord it loves and serves.
Philosophy of Student Ministries:
We are committed to helping students to enter into a vital relationship with Jesus Christ and to grow and mature in their faith. Student ministry requires relational commitment and intentional discipleship through deliberate grounding in the Word of God. Student ministry is most effectively accomplished through a team approach.
Overview:
The Cornerstone Worship Leader and Student Ministries Director will develop, coordinate and administer an effective worship and student ministry while providing leadership to and supervision of staff members and volunteers involved in this ministry.

YoungLife Leader,
Young Life - Madison, Madison,
WI
Since the early days of Young Life, volunteers have been the hands and feet of Young Life, coming alongside staff to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to teenagers. There are a variety of ways to volunteer in Young Life, each of which makes it possible to show more and more kids God’s love for them.
Volunteer Leader
Volunteer leaders are absolutely vital to the mission of Young Life. It is their involvement that allows lives to be changed. Young Life volunteer leaders participate in a full range of activities that help them build these significant relationships with kids.
Volunteer leaders, who ascribe to our Statement of Faith, are trained by Young Life staff — who are specialists in youth ministry — to make the safety of kids a priority. By keeping kids safe, volunteer leaders build trust not only with kids, but also with other people in the community.
As a volunteer leader for any of Young Life’s ministries, you make an eternal difference. When you’re a leader, you’re also joining a community of dynamic staff, leaders and committee. It’s not uncommon for leaders to say that they get more out of being a leader than what they give.
In fact, a desire to give back motivates many college students to become volunteer leaders and minister to middle school and high school kids. If you're a college student interested in being involved in Young Life in this way, contact Tracey Russell at tmrussell5@madison.younglife.org

This job is so simple because it is just taking something that you have already done and something that you know works and offering it to other youth pastors to use for themselves.
You will not get rich off of this job, but you will be able to help other youth pastors while getting a little bit of date money for the weekends.
All who are interested please submit a sermon or a sermon series or a small group outline to youthsermonsdotcom@gmail.com for consideration.
We are only looking for two writers, so send us the best that you have.

Youth Ministry Apprentice,
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Seattle,
WA
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is a thriving community in the Greenlake neighborhood of Seattle. We are an encouraging, welcoming congregation that cares deeply about young people. And we’re starting an Apprenticeship program for folks who feel the same way.
We love teenagers.
We want them to become their whole, healthy, happy selves.
We encourage each other to follow in the way of Jesus, not to convert to Jesus.
We believe that everything is spiritual.
We ask a LOT of questions and have great conversations.
We participate in making the kingdom of God a reality on earth, which means we care about justice, human rights, loving others, sustainability, and making the world more beautiful.
We teach students by paying attention to what they desire, because we believe that everything true and good and beautiful comes from God.
We play. And laugh. And cry. And tell lots and lots of stories.
We are looking for an Apprentice to lead with us, learn from us, and love students with us. This is not an internship. We’d like to treat you like an essential part of our ministry team, and teach you about what it means to be a youth pastor, not just how to do a youth ministry program. We imagine we have a lot to learn from you, too.
Here’s the infamous job description:
Be a part of our worshipping community, the good stuff and the not-so-good.
Invest in the lives of our students—have coffee with them, learn their stories, ask them honest questions, share your life, cheer them on.
Be flexible and be willing to learn, including weekly mentoring sessions & good books.
Be present for ministry gatherings, events, planning sessions, & trainings.
Work under the supervision of Morgan Schmidt, our Director of Children, Youth & Family Ministries.
The position duration is open and negotiable.

Church Plant Launch Team,
Re+Create Church, Murfreesboro,
TN
We are in the process of building a church plant launch team consisting of individuals who dare to dream big and desire to take an active part in God's plan to "recreate" the lives of ordinary people into becoming fully devoted, passionate followers of Jesus.
The plant will take place in Murfreesboro, TN in January of 2014. Murfreesboro is a city growing at a rapid rate right in the heart of Tennessee where 75% of the population is not affiliated with a church whatsoever. There is also a very large Muslim population which gives us the opportunity to truly make a difference in a radical way. If you would like more information, please visit our web site and contact us immediately. We would love to connect with you and have you as a part of our team!
