Internships

Because we believe that kingdom influence is more about sending capacity than seating capacity, we embrace our calling as a sending church that invests in next generation leaders (Matthew 9:35-38; Acts 13:1-3).

South Park Church is looking for two internship students to serve in a one-year internship with the possibility of a second-year residency.

If you are interested in applying for internships, please submit a cover letter and resume to us at info@southparkchurch.org

 

We are committed to

  • Developing deep and healthy relationships among staff and interns.
  • Providing wide exposure to ministry environments and meaningful ministry experiences.
  • Commissioning and championing leaders who may serve locally or globally.

What We Offer

  • We are a church family who excels at welcoming people into community.
  • We have a talented and theologically astute staff eager to invest in next generation leaders.
  • Our multi-generational ministries share a passion for making disciples from cradle to grave and have pursued innovative ways of making this a reality.
  • We embrace women in ministry at all levels of church and pastoral leadership.
  • We have partnerships with some of the most innovative ministries in the world. Key leaders in ministries like Safe Families attend our church. We have relationships with outreach partners in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and across the United States.
  • We are nurturing increased awareness of and involvement in transformative justice within our congregation and beyond.
  • We offer exposure to the church renewal movement known as The Great Banquet (a counterpart to Cursillo, Emmaus, and Tres Dias movements). It builds on a three day retreat that immerses guests in God’s grace and partners with other churches in the process.

The Internship

  • After the first semester that focuses on broad exposure to ministry areas, we will follow a personalized approach to setting goals that allows interns to focus on their area of calling.
  • The internship will be personalized to the person's sense of ministry calling.
  • Interns will work 15 hours a week.
  • Interns who are selected will receive a $3,000 scholarship per semester in the first year.
  • The internships run from Fall - Summer.
  • Exemplary students may be invited to participate in a second year of internship/residency with increased responsibility and benefits.
