Student Pastor Information
In keeping with the long-standing tradition in investing in the next generation of leaders, the church will mentor a student ministry intern for the school year. The student pastor position is a learning opportunity designed for students to work with Pastor senior pastor to create their own learning goals around the thinking, being, and doing of ministry. Preference is given to pre-ministerial students, however, students with other vocational goals will also be considered (ex. education majors might be interested in working with children or in a teaching setting outside of a traditional classroom). It is the hope that the fruits of these learning goals will produce a weekly load of between eight to ten hours per week.
