Children's Ministry Intern @ Cape Cod Church

Children's Ministry Intern @ Cape Cod Church

Studies show that the most effective time to reach a person with the good news of Jesus Christ is when they are young; specifically, before they hit their teenage years. This is the age when we can have the most impact on affecting long term cultural change and developing good habits that can have a positive effect on mental health. The world knows this. The advertising industry certainly know this. As Christ followers, we cannot afford to undervalue this age group! 

As Children's Ministry intern, you will work with both Park Director, Amy Gaudreault, and Kids Town Director, Leiko McSherry to get hands on experience and see what it takes to run a thriving children's program. Potential responsibilities include: 

  • Managing volunteers, communications, and scheduling

  • Helping to develop and execute Sunday programming

  • Program prep throughout the week

  • Maintaining social media and other platforms for family/program communication

  • Attending one week of Kids Camp as a counselor

  • Helping run weekly midweek children's programming

  • And other duties as assigned

The Cape Cod Church summer internship program runs for ten weeks, starting Monday, June 1st and ending Sunday, August 9th. In 2020, we are excited to offer four open positions.                                                                                    

Applications for consideration are due Monday, March 23rd by 12pm and can be completed through our online form. However, Cape Cod Church will review applications on a rolling basis: if you are a college student with a looming practicum deadline, we recommend you note this in your application.

A few quotes from last year's interns:                                                                             

"The internship completely wrecked my expectations and was way more incredible than I could have ever expected."     

"This internship does extremely well with raising godly leaders whether they are to go into church ministry or not in their future. I learned how to effectively communicate to unchurched people, a new way to lead small groups, and much more."  

"I enjoyed and appreciated the emphasis on both personal growth as well as having fun on Cape Cod for the summer. "
