CEF of Montana has several summer volunteer Intern/Apprentice positions available for college-aged young adults who desire to serve Jesus Christ through working with youth and children. The summer Interns/Apprentices work in partnership with the CEF of Montana staff and under the direct supervision of the State Coordinator, Chris Peabody.
This is a great opportunity to participate in the lives of young people by building relationships, mentoring, nurturing them in their faith and facilitating Vacation Bible School programs at local churches across Montana. Interns/Apprentices will have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by implementing and evaluating programs such as Christian Youth in Action, Vacation Bible School and small groups.
This hands-on approach to ministry offers college-aged young adults a summer to explore a call to ministry. Interns/Apprentices will also participate in the lives of the CEF of Montana staff members who will be intentionally discipling each intern and apprentice. The intern and apprentice will be invited to participate in weekly staff meetings and will work in conjunction with our staff members throughout the summer.
