Looking for a summer internship working in youth ministry?
Our summer internship program is designed for college students to explore the possibility of full-time youth ministry. The internship provides exposure to either middle school or high school ministry for those seeking to find where God might be calling them.
Our hope is to provide a context where interns are exposed to ministry and all that it entails including teaching, leading small groups, helping plan trips and programs, and being intentional with students and families.
Why Youth Ministry?
Youth ministry provides an avenue for middle and high school students to be influenced by individuals beyond their immediate family circle. While families play an essential role in shaping their children, young people also crave guidance and support from mentors who can offer unique perspectives and community with their peers.
We have the opportunity to connect with young minds, building relationships based on trust, authenticity, and faith in Jesus. In essence, youth ministry acts as a beacon of support, offering young people the guidance and encouragement they need to grow in their relationships with Jesus, each other, and His church.
Who We Look For
Summer interns are made up of college students who are committed to serving God by ministering to the youth of Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN. Applicant's attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus, who took the form of a servant (Philippians 2:4-8).
We hope you will prayerfully consider a ministry position at Second Presbyterian Church! We are looking for individuals who already demonstrate a lifestyle of growth and commitment as a disciple of Jesus Christ by: Loving God, Loving the Body of Christ, and Loving Others
