Intern Program

Summer Internship Program

**Applications are accepted from October 1 - January 24**

Pursuing life and mission with Jesus means that we want to replicate Jesus’ model of discipleship. One of the many ways we do this is through our summer internship program, designed to give college students the opportunity to serve, study, and lead alongside the staff at Fellowship Greenville.

This eleven-week program includes having interns in our following ministries: FG Kids, Student, Pastoral, Missional Impact, Worship, Family, Communications/Media, Events/Connections, Care, and Community Groups/Discipleship  

While our ministry supervisors will assign each specific intern their daily and weekly responsibilities, the interns also collectively gather three mornings each week for classes on various topics such as the gospel, leadership, mission, worship, and more. Our desire is to help equip college students to think well about Jesus and his church in both theological and practical ways.

This summer experience is a perfect context for college students to be discipled and grow in their understanding of what it looks like to be the church. Fellowship Greenville’s internship is for applicants who exemplify a desire for Christ-likeness and love for the church and who also feel called to formal church ministry.

Beyond this, applicants must have completed one year of college or be 19 or older, support the mission and vision of Fellowship Greenville, and submit the online employment application including a pastoral reference letter. Selected applicants will then be interviewed by the Intern Team.

The deadline to submit both the application and pastoral reference for the following summer is January 24 at 11:59 pm.

No. This internship is designed to help equip possible future leaders in the church regardless of your church attendance and membership outside of your summer with us.

How long does the internship last?
The program runs from Sunday, May 19 through July 31. You must be available to begin and end the program on the respective start and end dates.  

Can I take a summer vacation?
Yes, however, no more than two interns can be gone the same week; therefore, vacation is on a "first-come, first-serve" basis and must be approved prior to the start of the program. No vacation will be granted during the first or last week of the program. Please see the FG Intern Vacation Policy for further details.    

What are the expectations of the interns?

Each intern will be expected to

• be involved in church life for approximately 30-35 hours per week (including attendance at one of our weekly gatherings on Sunday morning).  
• attend classes every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:30-10:00 a.m., covering a range of topics (i.e. gospel, leadership, worship, marriage, etc).
• report to their specific ministry leader(s) for tasks and assignments throughout the week outside of their corporate expectations on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
• complete a Meeting Attendance Record and an Interview Record that will help them continue to think about church life from the perspective of the different ministries within the church.
• attend a retreat at the beginning of the summer (to prepare them) and the end of the summer (to debrief with them) concerning their internship experience.

Be fully commited to investing your time, energy, and passion to the entirety of the internship program.
