“As a 360 Intern I was able to get a glimpse of each corner of the student ministries department at Purpose Church. It not only helped me to understand where I felt called to serve in student ministries but it also gave me a clear picture of what student ministries is all about. Sharing the love of Christ with students as an intern was an incredible experience!”
-Adrian, 360 Intern (Year Round)

WHY INTERN IN STUDENT MINISTRIES?
A 360 Internship experience with Purpose Church Student Ministries will give you an up close and insiders view into how we do ministry–a full 360 degree view! We believe in delegating authority, not just responsibility, which means you won’t be sitting on the sidelines, you will be in the game, practicing what you are learning, and growing as a leader. Our hope is that after you complete your 360 Internship, you will have a better sense of where God is calling you into ministry. Our interns are crucial in shaping and sustaining our ministry to students and families. This internship resides at the intersection of knowledge and experience. We love our 360 Interns!
