NGC Internship - Summer 2026

About the internship:

As a leadership team, we see Ephesians 4 as our primary job description: “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” The leadership of NGC are not primarily “doers” of ministry, but “equippers” of ministry and ministers. It’s with this conviction that we approach this internship. The primary goal of these 10 weeks is to help the intern answer the following question: is vocational ministry the path for me? We will find the answer to this question through ministry training, ministry experience, lectures, and time spent with the church staff. 

This is a track-based internship, with the following emphases:

• Discipleship
• Kids Ministry 
• Media/Creative Ministry 
• Music Ministry
• Operations 
• Preaching 
• Youth Ministry
  
• Women's Ministry
  
  

Each intern will directly report to the ministry leader in their track, spending approximately 50% of their time in their track and 50% with the entirety of the intern team.

NGC exists to glorify God, by equipping the church to be the church, to fill our region with gospel churches. In order to live out this mission statement, we’ve identified six pillars that make up the foundation of NGC:

3. The Church: We submit to God’s design for the church.
4. Community: We don’t believe the Christian life can be lived alone.

In everything we do, we strive to live out of these six pillars.
