KidMin Internship.
The KidMin Internship program at CCF seeks to provide an environment whereby potential ministry leaders might grow in their knowledge and experience of the various elements involved in Children’s Ministry – administration, gospel teaching, event planning, family and volunteer communication, classroom care and maintenance, counseling children, and various project-based ministry. We want them to be a part of regular, day-to-day ministry life in order to provide a weekly layout for doing the behind the scenes work of Children’s Ministry.
Since we believe effective ministry leaders are much more than single-faceted specialists, experts only in a narrow field of ministry, this program is designed to provide a base of “common experience” in addition to its more focused approach in a specific ministry area. In this way, interns in all areas of ministry will learn and grow together as they experience broad ministry philosophies as well as particular specificities. In other words: In addition to direct involvement in “specialized ministry” areas, our internship focuses on answering: How should the church be organized? Who should lead the church? How does church policy affect the function of the local church?
In addition to observing church life today, CCF interns will spend much of their time engaging in conversation with families within the church as well as, each Pastoral Staff and Ministry Leader and networking with people who may be able to direct them to a future career. Through these conversations and their interaction with our church’s life, interns will discover that we believe God’s church is the main transmitter of the gospel. Not only that, they will consider what it means to serve and lead a church according to all that the Bible says about the local church.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
We welcome applications from those interested in church ministry and who are able to affirm the CCF statement of faith.
