3-12 Month Opportunities

POSITION SUMMARY

The Cornerstone Ministry Intern position will be a chance for an individual to learn about ministry work through hands-on experience. Through this unpaid internship the individual will assist his or her ministry supervisor and be challenged to grow in spiritual, personal, and professional goals while serving at Cornerstone Church. The goal of the internship is for young men and women with a heart for ministry to be mentored by experienced staff members, and to provide a learning experience that equips interns mentally and spiritually for future ministry. At this time Cornerstone is offering internships in our Children's, Youth, Worship, and Production ministries. 

The intern position is designed to be a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 1 year, with interns serving on a quarter basis. Before starting, interns will work out the length of their position as well as a start and end date with their ministry supervisor. Internship lengths can be flexible if the intern agrees upon it with the ministry supervisor ahead of time.

The Internship hours are outlined below, with flexibility and schedule changes to be dictated by the intern’s direct supervisor. Hours may be longer than the prescribed 15 hours per week during special event preparation and execution, with the intern to work out a balance after events with their supervisor.

  1. Interns must attend church each week and serve in their ministry function Sunday morning, to a total of 3 hours each Sunday.
  2. Interns must serve in their ministry area events each week, depending on what event that is (Epic, Script, Fortress, worship practice, etc.) totaling 3 hours each week.
  3. Interns must spend time each week meeting with their ministry manager to be discipled and be held accountable in their pursuit of spiritual growth, as well as discuss any books assigned by staff for spiritual growth totaling to 2 hours per week. This time will also be used to evaluate the intern’s performance and give feedback for learning and growth.
  4. Interns would spend the remaining 7 hours per week helping prepare for their weekly ministry event, including but not limited to event planning and setup.
