A Real Ministry Experience

See What Ministry Is Actually Like.

The Concord Students Summer Internship is designed for young adults who want meaningful experience serving teenagers while gaining an honest look at vocational ministry.

You'll work directly with Pastor Jon, serve students throughout the week, participate in camps and events, spend time around the broader Concord staff, and receive opportunities to lead, teach, plan, and grow.

      This isn't just shadowing.

      You'll be trusted with real ministry responsibility and coached through the process.

Show Up. Be present where students actually are.

Lead. Take real responsibility for real ministry.

Grow. Let ministry develop you while you develop others.
