Pastoral/Church Ministry Intern @ Cape Cod Church
We believe that the church is a localized expression of God’s love for people, and are passionate about reaching those who are far from God. Over 50 percent of our current attenders report they did not go to a church before attending Cape Cod Church, a reflection of that passion.
As a pastoral intern, you will be trained in shepherding the spiritual development of individuals, operating the management side of running a church, and developing your sermon preparation and speaking skills. The pastoral intern will work closely with Director of Spiritual Development Tom Maine, Executive Director Mark McSherry, Youth Director Alexa Franco as well as Senior Pastor Ben Feldott.
We are committed to working closely with our pastoral intern to help develop skills in whichever area of pastoral care he/she is interested. Including but not limited to the focus areas of senior pastor, youth, children (under Children's Ministry below), and missions. (Please indicate areas of interest on application form.)
Potential responsibilities include:
Leading and teaching in an adult discipleship (small group) setting
Leading and teaching in a youth discipleship setting
Developing sermon prep, writing, and delivering skills
Developing small group ministry promotional materials and schedules
Writing a weekly small group study (discussion notes) from the Sunday sermon
Coordinating and assisting with guest assimilation events
Participating in our prayer ministry
Main-stage speaking opportunities
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.

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. "
