Summer Internship Program
Pursuing life and mission with Jesus means that we want to replicate Jesus’ model of discipleship. One of the many ways we do this is through our summer internship program, designed to give college students the opportunity to serve, study, and lead alongside the staff at Fellowship Greenville.
This eleven-week program includes having interns in our following ministries: Children, Student, Pastoral, Outreach, Worship, Family, Communications/Media, and Events/Connections.
While our ministry supervisors will help each specific intern with their daily and weekly responsibilities, the interns also collectively gather three mornings each week for classes on various topics such as the gospel, leadership, mission, worship, and more. Our desire is to help equip college students to think well about Jesus and his church in both theological and practical ways.
This summer experience is a perfect context for college students to be discipled and grow in their understanding of what it looks like to be the church. Fellowship Greenville’s internship is for applicants who exemplify a desire for Christ-likeness and love for the church as well as those who feel called to formal church ministry.
Beyond this, applicants must have completed one year of college or be 19 or older, support the mission and vision of Fellowship Greenville, and submit both the Fellowship Greenville job application and internship questionnaire. Selected applicants will then be interviewed by the Intern Team.
The deadline to submit both the application and pastoral reference for the following summer is January 29.
