Dear Potential Summer Intern,
Since 1981, The Gathering Place has been Reaching, Equipping and Sending students with the power of the Gospel. We have learned over the years that to accomplish our mission, it must be through authentic relationships. The Gathering Place has developed cutting-edge methods to create fun, relevant and engaging programs where relationships can flourish, but our methods are only as good as the people using them.
This is where you come in. Our goal is transformational relationships, and we are looking for sharp college students who love Jesus to develop these relationships with kids. So what about you? You’re reading this letter, and asking yourself, “What do I have to offer? Would I want to go and live near the beach for the summer? Would that be fun? Would it be fulfilling? Would I grow and develop my passions for Christ?
If you love God and have a desire to see kids fall in love with Him too, then yes, this internship will be fulfilling, stretching, fun and meaningful. You were a teenager once. You were in High School. You’ve lived the moments that many of our kids are in right now and you have a special ability to reach them. Would you like to be a critical part of investing in students, and in helping them grow and develop their own leadership skills? If you are interested then read on! This application contains some basic information about The Gathering Place and the Summer College Intern Program. Inside you’ll find all of the facts you’ll need to make a wise decision about the summer.
Each summer for the past 19 years, The Gathering Place builds a Summer Ministry Intern Team made up of at least 12 college students. We look for college-aged men and women from any discipline to join our team. If accepted into the program, you will be placed in an intense ministry-training program. Within this authentic community, you will gain firsthand experience in a wide variety of ministry activities geared toward sharing the Gospel with young people and encouraging them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We promise you will leave with a deeper knowledge of Jesus, a more intense desire to serve Him, and the skills to do so wherever you are!
We are committed to raising up God-honoring, Christian leaders and this paid internship is one of the main ways that we accomplish that vision. Please pray, seek the Lord and trust that He will lead us and direct our paths. If you have any further questions, please call us at (912) 264-3474 or email us at GP Staff.
