The Overview

Northgate Church is seeking three Summer Ministry Interns who are exploring a calling to ministry and desire a hands-on, mentored leadership experience serving the local church. This is a temporary ministry role with significant responsibility, designed to form future leaders. Interns will serve across multiple areas of church ministry, with a primary emphasis on Kids and Youth Ministries and an optional additional emphasis based on the gifting of the intern.

PURPOSE

· Support and strengthen Northgate’s summer ministries

· Equip and develop future ministry leaders

· Help interns discern their calling

This internship is for college students or young adults who are considering a calling to ministry, are eager to grow spiritually and personally, are open to feedback, are motivated to work hard, and desire meaningful responsibility in a real ministry environment.

THE IDEAL
CANDIDATE

RESPONSIBILITIES

Interns will be embedded in the daily life of the church and participate in a wide range of ministry responsibilities. This is a unified internship experience designed to provide interns with a broad range of experiences, meaning all interns will serve in multiple ministry areas rather than in a single role.

Primary emphasis areas:

Kids Ministry:

assisting with Mega Day Camp, Sunday programming, and special events

Youth Ministry – supporting summer Bible studies, small groups, events, and student discipleship

Additional ministry areas:

· Worship services (logistics, speaking roles, tech support)

· Event planning

· Outreach

· Discipleship and Small Groups

· Pastoral care and member support

· Administrative operations

Optional additional emphasis:

· Each intern will also have the opportunity to pursue a secondary emphasis based on gifting and interest (up to 10 hours per week), such as teaching, discipleship, worship, communications, leadership development, outreach, creative ministry, etc.

SUPERVISION
& MENTORSHIP

Interns will be supervised by a ministry leader who will serve as both a supervisor and mentor. This includes regular check-ins, coaching conversations, feedback, and spiritual support.

TIME COMMITMENT
& COMPENSATION

  • 30–40 hours per week

  • For 9 weeks (June 1 – July 31)

  • Interns may request to take up to one week off (unpaid) provided that it does not conflict with major ministry events, subject to approval by supervisor.
