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. We are seeking one intern each for the 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
Scope and Purpose
