Kids Ministry Summer Intern

Overview:

Church of the Saviour is a non-denominational Christ-centered church of approximately 1,000 people in the Philadelphia suburb of Wayne, Pennsylvania. We are called by Jesus Christ to engage our community (and beyond) to the glory of God. We take the Great Commission seriously and actively support local outreach and global missions. We have personally experienced the Good News of Jesus Christ and now count it both an extreme privilege and responsibility to be ministers of reconciliation to a lost and hurting world.

We depend on the Holy Spirit to enable and empower us to fulfill God's plan for our lives and our church. We are certain that Christ is supreme in all things, and we know we are most fully alive and fulfilled when we are glorifying the Lord most fully.

Church of the Saviour Next Generation Ministry is looking for college-aged interns who have a strong and personal love for Jesus to come along side us in growing, together with our kids, towards Him. It is our great joy to see more kids call Jesus their personal savior, for kids to dive deeper into their faith, and to equip more disciples to carry out His Great Commission.

This internship is designed for mature followers of Christ to aid us in that mission, but equally to be served by Church of the Saviour leadership to develop as Christian leaders themselves. This program exists so that interns can first be poured into by God and His Church by the Spirit, and then overflow into gospel ministry for the next generation.

We seek in all things to love others, because God first loved us.
