I spent 10 weeks as a Jersey Church intern. I had so many great and practical experiences, and I truly feel like I understand what working in ministry is like. The staff is awesome and so supportive and encouraging while you are searching for your calling. Highly recommend an internship at Jersey Church!

My experience at Jersey Church was a prominent moment in my faith journey. Serving as the teaching and preaching intern gave me more than ministry experience—it deepened my love for the Word and strengthened my calling to lead others to Christ. The opportunity to preach, study Scripture in community, and walk with people through their own faith journeys was both humbling and energizing. The mentorship I received shaped me, and the community among the interns was a needed source of encouragement and insight. If you're looking for an internship that blends spiritual growth with real ministry experience, Jersey Church is the place for you!

At Jersey, I worked as a Student Ministry Intern and was able to get experience in ministry and better discern what a call to ministry could look like. I had the opportunity to participate in small group teaching, administrative tasks/planning, connecting with students, and learning from staff and their experiences within ministry. This internship gave me the tools to better discern my call to ministry as well as develop skills and spiritual disciplines that will enhance my ability to do ministry well.

I was a Communication and Media Intern at Jersey Church, and during this time, I was doing graphics for the Jersey social media, like the sermon points and thumbnail covers for the sermon clips. I also took photos at events like CareWeek and VBS and edited them. I gained hands-on experience designing for a church. I gained a lot of experience serving God and the people through creating graphics and editing photos, and seeing the work of God through designing in the church. It gave me experience and wisdom that creativity has a place in the church and that I can serve God through that.

I spent this past summer as a "Communication and Media Intern" at Jersey, and I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. Not only is Jersey an incredible community, but I was able to develop impactful relationships with my peers and make amazing friendships. You get to apply your skills to real-life scenarios and experiences, and the knowledge and lessons I gained are invaluable to my career path.

I loved my time as a Kids Ministry Intern at Jersey Church! I got to help plan and execute events, teach lessons, build relationships with volunteers and families, and see kids grow in their relationship with Jesus. Throughout it all, I was surrounded and encouraged by a great community that poured into me and helped me grow. The internship gave me a greater passion for ministry!

I spent two summers as a "Student Ministry Intern" at Jersey, and during that time, I was able to start putting into practice what I was learning in the classroom. I was given the opportunity to participate in real-world ministry through large and small group teaching, event planning, attending student ministry events, and spending time with students. Those summer internships 100% helped prepare me to work full-time in ministry!

I served as the Missions Intern for 3 summers before coming on full-time as an associate! During my time, I was able to plan, execute, and attend local/international trips for a wide demographic of volunteers. This prepared me for my role as an Event facilitator for Compassion International before returning to Jersey Church, full-time. Serving as the Missions Intern allowed me to work alongside a variety of ministries internally and externally which have benefited me greatly. It is such a rewarding experience to prepare the next generation with the tools and knowledge to carry out the great commission!

My Internship at Jersey laid the foundation for my career in ministry. I was able to do hands-on work using the gifts God had given me. Turning an internship into a job that I have held for almost 10 years. As an intern in the worship department at Jersey, I was able to lead worship, spearhead projects, gain practical experience, and sharpen my skills. I am now the Technical Director at Jersey and love my job and church.

My experience in the Jersey Internship was just the start of understanding God's will for my life. Growing up in the church I saw God make worshippers first out of the leaders that we had. That was really good for me! Out of that, the internship gave me tangible goals, practical experiences, and to this day healthy challenge. I have been leading worship in our youth and main congregation for more than half a decade and I am still learning. I love what I do and I love our people!
