SUMMER INTERNSHIP

Intern at Richland Creek

Richland Creek gathers to glorify God in worship, grow as disciples of Jesus, and go on mission with the Gospel. We believe, teach and live under the authority of God’s Word, and we invite like-minded, passionate young adult believers to join us each summer to learn from our pastors and grow as ministers of the gospel. If you desire to serve the church in full-time ministry, especially in the area of children or student ministry, we encourage you to apply for the Richland Creek Summer Internship program. Interns will serve in our next-generation ministry areas of Creek Kids and Creek Students.

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12

"The internship at Richland Creek was a big blessing to me. It confirmed an already growing desire for ministry in me and made me want to pursue it even harder. I really enjoyed the team environment that the staff and pastors did so well to create as well as the opportunities to learn from and ask questions of pastors who have been walking in ministry a long time. Another big blessing was the many opportunities to take ownership over a task. Whether it be a game at an event or a small task behind the scenes, and even two sermons, I got very valuable experience and a better understanding of what ministry is really like."
