Our mission is to help reveal purpose, unlock potential, and equip the next generation to Re•Present and build the local church.
Our Formation Internship prepares you for life in ministry. We exist to develop, empower and train young leaders to discover and prepare for the call of God on their lives. Interns will be submerged in the innovative transformative creative culture of Transformation Church. Our heart is to provide a unique environment where you can become a game changer! You will learn from our staff and leaders, serve the church and community, while seeing lives transformed.
Our Ministry Labs are designed to develop your gifts, skills, leadership, character and community through hands-on experience within specialized areas of ministry and various areas of church life. Each intern will have a coach throughout the entire program. Our coaches will train, equip and give you opportunities to sharpen your skills and discover your calling.
From their first church service to their first belong group meeting, this lab meets people where they are on their journey and helps them progress in their transformation. Interns will gain experience in communicating stories, coordinating events lead alongside volunteers, assess and improve current processes, develop and launch Growth Track Classes, develop strategies and create workflows to get people connected to God and much more.
As a church we serve people not just in outreach but also through in-reach. Interns will have an opportunity to coordinate simple serving projects, develop strategies and workflows for our online campus, assist and create content to engage our online community and develop strategies for volunteer recruitment and partner engagement within our online and local campuses. Interns will also gain experience caring for people in times of need through counseling, funerals, weddings, and hospital visitations.
We value the next generation and have a major responsibility and burden to present and represent God in a simple, creative and fun way to help kids, youth, young adults and families live out the vision of Transformation Church. In the NextGen Lab interns will plan, prepare, and implement lessons and activities, assist with volunteer development/follow-up, develop leadership talks, complete administrative tasks, coordinate special events, weekly programming and so much more.
Whether video, photography, web, graphics, or social media, we have a place for you to use and develop your creative skills throughout our Creative Lab. Interns will gain experience in communicating stories, capturing moments both inside and outside the church and highlighting events. In order to be accepted into this lab there are entry level skills required. Interns will lead projects, develop teams and contribute to the vision of TC.
Have you ever thought of what it really takes to run an efficient and effective church, here’s a hint it’s not just great preaching. Just like in any business, the operation of the church is the structural backbone to the organization. Operations help to ensure the church is functionally strong through business, finance, administrative and legal initiatives. Interns will assist in the operational infrastructure through development and implementation of key systems, processes, and methods.
Administration gives shape and order to ministry. It is not a ministry afterthought, it’s a ministry essential and helps everyone work within their giftings. Interns will learn to have a big-picture view of what’s going on in the ministry. They will learn the communication and organizational skills to utilize resources effectively in ministry. Interns will also learn about the spiritual gifting of administration, developing and leading projects, as well as the importance of proper preparation and execution.
