Summer Intern

About the Role

Traders Point Christian Church defines its culture by three gospel‑centered values: humble, hungry, and healthy. Staff are expected to live out these values through daily behaviors, humbling themselves before God and others, working hard to advance His mission, focusing on relational, physical, mental, and spiritual health, and actively contributing to the church’s mission and vision.

The Summer Intern plays a vital role in supporting the church’s ministries while gaining hands‑on experience in ministry leadership. The program provides exposure to a specific ministry area, opportunities for shadowing and mentoring, ownership of meaningful tasks, and a space to grow personally, spiritually, and professionally.
