Worship Ministry Summer Internship

Ascent Worship exists to bring the Church into a fresh encounter with our Heavenly Father. We do this by leading with open hearts and open hands, to give our best gifts back to God while bringing His people into His presence. Our hearts are to help create and pursue authentic moments of worship, onstage, backstage, and offstage through our lives.

Ascent Church is honored to have the opportunity to invest in the lives of young adults who are pursuing full-time ministry through our internship program. During their internship, our goal is to help prepare and equip interns for ministry by serving alongside the Leadership Team at our church in order to understand the inner workings of our ministries. While getting a glimpse of other ministries and what is happening at our church as a whole, our ultimate goal is to provide opportunities for the Worship Intern to take ownership in our department by providing feedback, overseeing projects and events, personally investing in the worship team, and implementing new ideas.

While Ascent certainly benefits from anyone who interns with us, our prayer for everyone who participates in this internship is that you would learn more about and build:

• The character required to lead and equip others
• The discipline necessary to oversee a growing and thriving Ministry
• The leadership skills that are needed to effectively oversee a worship ministry and culture
• The servants heart to come alongside people and meet them exactly where they are.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with Staff Mentor to recruit, equip, and train new team members and music directors for Sundays mornings and Wednesday nights
• Collaborate with Staff Mentor to create intentional moments both transitional and musically for Sunday services 
• Coordinate with Staff Mentor to complete needed assets for Sunday services and rehearsal 
• Brainstorm and implement fresh ideas to elevate Ascent Church’s worship culture and experience
• Take part in weekly 1:1 Meetings with Staff Mentor, Staff Chapel, and Production
• Serve as part of Ascent Worship’s lead team and assist with leading weekly meetings
• Invest regularly in the Worship volunteer team through planned meetings and team wide events
• Participate in Sunday programming and rehearsals at capacity that is determined together with Mentor
• All other tasks as assigned 

How You Win: Our Worship intern will win when they complete the program as a stronger leader than when they began, feeling more equipped and empowered to step into the calling that God has placed on their lives.
