Children & Youth Ministries Intern

Who We Are:
Inspired by the bold and boundless hospitality of Jesus, we are “open to all,” which means we welcome and accept all people into the life of our Church without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, age, economic status, political affiliation, physical or mental capacity, or religious belief. We believe that God’s call is given to all people, and we embrace the Spirit that continues to cross boundaries in order to unite the world.
Our Children & Youth Ministries
Our mission is to provide spiritual and community care for our families from birth to 12th grade through integrated children & youth ministries. Our young people are energetic, curious learners, and very loving. We have young people from a variety of backgrounds, forming a beautifully diverse tapestry of bright minds. Sundays are our primary time to engage with young people, but programming happens throughout the week.
