Summer Intern

Traders Point Christian Church defines our culture by these three gospel-centered values: humble, hungry and healthy. We expect and hold staff accountable to live out these values through their daily behaviors. We expect staff to humble themselves before God and others, work hard and unto God to advance His mission.
