As the Missions Intern at Jersey Church, I developed my understanding of missions by touring local ministry partners, helping with local kingdom movements, and traveling internationally. I was given the opportunity to grow in my leadership skills through teaching two lessons during Vacation Bible School and presenting a recap to staff regarding the international trip I went on. I would highly recommend this internship and it has helped me assess what I desire to do vocationally. God provided in so many ways through this internship! So grateful for these 10 weeks!

I spent a summer at Jersey doing the Student Ministry Internship. It was a n amazing experience to do hands on ministry and help program events/camps. I truly appreciated all of the opportunities I got to teach, lead, grow, and disciple the students at Jersey. You cannot learn everything about youth ministry in a book. You just need to get out and do it! This internship is the perfect opportunity to practice real ministry before you go into full-time ministry. The people are great, the students are crazy, and the memories are for a lifetime. I would highly recommend interning at Jersey!

I got to serve as the "Media and Communications Intern" at Jersey Church this summer, and it was such a fun and impactful experience. I enjoyed the feeling of being a part of something bigger than myself--For the Kingdom! From creating social media content and writing captions to capturing photos/videos for all kinds of events, I got real, hands-on experience doing ministry through storytelling. One of my favorite parts was getting to help share what God is doing at Jersey in a creative way. I learned how to plan content, stay organized, and think strategically about how we communicate as a church. Plus, the team trusted me with real responsibility, which pushed me to grow fast. This internship stretched my creativity, built my skills, and honestly gave me so much confidence in using my gifts for the church.

I spent one summer as the "Preaching and Teaching Intern" at Jersey where I was given opportunities to prep and preach sermons and prepare curriculums. I got to study the process of writing and preaching a sermon well while building community and connections. The leaders at Jersey discipled me in how to depend on God in ministry, especially in delivering God's word. I got to pour into the congregation, college ministry, students, kids, and other churches. I have learned so much about how to do ministry well to different groups in different settings, how to adjust my own comportment to best communicate Christ.

Hey! My name is Andrew. I spent the summer as a 'student ministry intern' having already had plenty of youth ministry experience before the summer. When I arrived, I was doubtful that I would have many new experiences of work that is required of youth pastors, but I was wrong. Jersey offered such a diverse, broad range of experience and tasks that were super helpful and have inspired me to implement in creative ways someday! I gained experience in teaching, mentoring, writing curriculum, making phone calls to parents, engaging with students in various different environments and settings, and various other tasks that have opened my eyes in new ways to long-term, faithful youth ministry! This summer internship prepared me to be a youth pastor in ways I didn't expect and am eternally grateful for! 

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!
