JOB OVERVIEW Preston Trail’s 12-week internship program provides hands on experience in what it’s like to work in ministry. Our interns play a big part in helping us fulfill our mission of helping people find and follow Jesus Christ.
Multiple intern spots are available, each providing a specific area of focus: Kids & Students, Community Outreach, Communications & Marketing, and Production.
Here’s what you can expect:
Be part of the team – You’ll get the full, behind-the-scenes ministry experience as a key member of our staff.
One-on-one mentorship – We’ve got your back, both professionally and spiritually, with a supervisor committed to your growth.
Own your work – You’ll take on real responsibilities, collaborate on projects, and get to share your ideas.
Grow your gifts – We’ll help you develop your unique skills, talents, and spiritual gifts.
Leadership training – Weekly sessions to build your leadership skills and grow as a well-rounded Christian leader.
Team-building & volunteer management – Learn how to work with teams and lead volunteers effectively.
By the end of the summer, we’re praying that you’ll have a clearer picture of ministry, a deeper understanding of yourself, and more insight into God’s plan for your future.
