At SFC we are launching an internship program designed to give participants the opportunity of a lifetime by getting an inside look into, what we believe to be, one of the most exciting, intense, and unique ministry environments in the country. We are searching for 6-8 passionate and gifted people to join our intern experience.
If you are interested in being a part of an incredible move of God, if you want to see Him use you in ways you never imagined, being an intern here at Seattle First Church of the Nazarene (SFC) is one of the highest privileges you’ll ever experience. When most people think of an internship, they have visions of busy work-fetching coffee, picking up dry cleaning, and making copies… But at SFC we are looking for contributing members to our team. Oh don’t worry, you’ll work hard! After all, changing the world is hard work, but you’ll also get to see the Kingdom of God advanced because of your efforts. It’s a calling. It’s a privilege. And above all, it’s a chance to be empowered. We have no desire to raise up a generation of great coffee fetchers (although you will make latte’s), we want to raise up a generation of world changers and leaders.
God has called (SFC) to meet in the city, the call began in 1907 and continues today. Our urban location will flavor your internship. While life at an urban church, under a creative God, is never predictable, the same can be said of a SFC internship. While life may be unpredictable, you can count on our commitment to each intern and their growth in her or his understanding of the sufficiency of Jesus. Therefore, every intern can expect to gain a practical understanding of what it means to search for ways to live out our faith in day-to-day situations all while doing this in community.
An SFC internship will provide you with a blueprint to pursue what it means to follow the ways of Christ in your everyday life – with all that we are: our vocation, our passions, and our dreams. We will do this by emphasizing four areas during your time of internship with us:
We will LEARN together what it means to serve and follow Jesus;
We will EQUIP you to live a life of service;
We will EXERCISE and develop your skills;
We will EMPOWER you to succeed in your future ministry and life, following the ways of Christ.
At SFC we combine first-hand ministry opportunities with a curriculum, featuring seminars taught by staff, members and fellow interns, mentoring, and leadership. We are excited that you are considering investing your time with us. We believe our internship will have an impact and influence on your life and those you come in contact with. We take your commitment seriously, and we would love to discuss whether or not our internship program will work for you.
If you are still interested, please take a few moments to look further into our Internship Opportunities.
