Church of the Master United Methodist is a Calling Congregation

Church seeks one area high school student and one college student for a year-long internship beginning April 1, 2012 and ending March 31, 2013.

WESTERVILLE, OHIO  – Church of the Master (COM) in conjunction with the Fund for Theological Education is seeking two interns to explore a vocational call to ministry in the coming year.

Interns will have the opportunity to observe and/or participate in a variety of ministerial areas not limited to but including: worship, Adult Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Day Camp, missions, shadowing, visitation, small groups, outreach, and church governance.  

Interns will work closely with the church’s Director of Next Generation Ministries and will be mentored by individuals on the church’s Intern Support Team. Interns will have opportunities to explore their Christianity identity, and to discern a call to ministry as a vocation.
