Summer Interns

Summer Internships At CPC

CPC is very excited to offer summer internships to train up college students in ministry. You will have an exciting summer ahead of you based on three words: go, do, and be. All of them are verbs; action is required. 

First we want to train you up to GO. Jesus tells us to “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Wherever God might have you GO, we want you to be prepared and trained to preach the gospel, whether it’s in our local middle school or in an orphanage in a third world country.

Do: Paul challenges Timothy  to be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist and fulfill your ministry. Paul was really passing the torch to the next generation. Our desire is to teach you to be steady in ministry, to endure suffering, to reach the world, as well as help you find your calling in ministry.

The final word is BE. The Psalms tell us to “BE still and know that I am God.” One of the most important parts of ministry is BEing still. We want to teach you to hear God’s voice as you study His Word, as you work alongside staff and people, as well as sitting quietly before the Lord.  

CPC Summer Interns is entering its 12th summer. Our desire is to train up college students to do the work of the ministry and give them practical ministry experience. Each participant will work in an assigned area of ministry, receiving instruction and insight from the CPC staff which includes pastors and directors as well as some of our volunteers. We want to help you understand the nature of ministry, the goals of ministry and a personal ministry philosophy. Each intern will experience a balance of activities and responsibilities in order to get a feel for the various components of ministry as well as be a part of the CPC staff. We currently have internships in Communications, Student Ministry and CPCKids.
