WHAT? An internship is a learning and serving position with a particular area or service team at Park Church. Our interns are key contributors to the day-to-day ministries of our church, who learn to lead by doing. Through this semester-based program, you will have the opportunity to develop theologically while growing in practical ministry skills.
WHO? Typically, interns are people in school or recently out of school who desire to develop as leaders while making an impact in the local church. Interns may be exploring vocational ministry or seeking to develop their leadership skills for careers in the marketplace.
