Student Ministry Intern Bonhomme Presbyterian Church, 14820 Conway Road, Chesterfield, MO 63017
Goal: This internship is designed to give individuals an opportunity to deepen their personal walk with God by gaining valuable experience and training in both practical and theoretical aspects of full- time Christian ministry.
Reports to: Robby Cella – Associate Pastor for Discipleship and Mission
We are looking for: Passionate followers of Jesus who want to impact the world for Him. Talented and energetic individuals who want to help the student ministry of Bonhomme Presbyterian Church. Applicants need to be focused, dedicated, self-starters with a passion for students and their families.
What we value: • Lively faith. Walking with God is your #1 priority. • Immerse yourself into BPC. Bonhomme is a church with two very different worship expressions on Sunday and a wide range of engagements throughout the calendar year. • Pursue the whole family of faith at BPC. We want you to engage not only with the students but also adult and grand adults at BPC. • Personal Integrity. No one is perfect, we know. But a life that is consistent from Saturday night to Sunday morning is important. Integrity requires honesty, consistency and accountability.
The Purpose of a BPC Student Intern: • To challenge and deepen one’s faith in Jesus Christ. This will happen as the intern steps out in faith and does things they never thought they could do as they trust in the Holy Spirt and partner with staff, volunteers, students and families and BPC’s congregation to accomplish God’s mission of sharing the Gospel. • Personal growth. Personal and work goals will be set, accountability encouraged, evaluations given, support and encouragement freely offered by staff and supervisor, all for the intern’s personal and professional growth. • Give the intern an opportunity to discover, use and grow their gifts. The intern will be required to do a wide variety of things for the ministry (see below). The hope is that by the end of their time, the interns will have a clearer picture of how God might have gifted them and where he may be calling them to exercise those gifts.
Responsibilities: The internship has both relational and administrative components to the job description. Goals will be set, tasks will be assigned, and expectations will be communicated and reviewed on an ongoing basis. The work week will somewhat vary week to week but always include: administrative tasks, ministry contact appointments, ministry event planning, staff meetings,
