Worship & Music Intern
Worship & Music Ministry Summer Internship Position Description
Roswell Presbyterian Church
Goal:
This Internship is designed to give individuals an opportunity to deepen their personal walk with God by gaining valuable experience and training in both practical and theoretical aspects of full-time Christian ministry.
Reports to: Betsy Homer, Senior Director of Worship & Programs
In addition, works with: John Perry, Director of Music Ministry; Trenton Durham, Director of Worship; Ashley Perry, Director of Children’s Music
We are looking for:
Passionate followers of Jesus who want to impact the congregation for Jesus. Talented and energetic students who want to propel the worship and arts ministry of Roswell Presbyterian Church as we move into exciting new ministry opportunities this summer. Applicants need to be focused, dedicated, self-starters with a passion for worship and music.
What we value:
- Lively faith. Living into your faith consistently.
- Immerse yourself into worship at RPC. RPC offers many varied opportunities for worship whether it be the Traditional service, Modern Service, or in the youth areas or by leading during trips and camps. We want worship to be a vessel to which you can express your faith.
- Pursue the whole family of faith at RPC. We want you to engage with all demographics including children, youth, and adults at RPC. Developing relationships not only in a worship setting, but outside is so important as you share your love of Christ with others.
- Personal Integrity. No one is perfect, we know. But a life that is consistent from Saturday night to Sunday morning is important. Integrity requires honesty, consistency and accountability.
The Purpose of a RPC Worship internship:
- To challenge and deepen one’s faith in Jesus Christ. This will happen as the intern steps out in faith and does things they never thought they could do as they trust in the Holy Spirt and partner with staff, volunteers, students and families and RPC’s congregation to accomplish God’s mission of sharing the Gospel.
- Personal growth. Personal and work goals will be set, accountability encouraged, evaluations given, support and encouragement freely offered by staff and supervisor, all for the intern’s personal and professional growth.
- Give the intern an opportunity to discover, use and grow their gifts. The intern will be required to do a wide variety of things for the ministry (see below). The hope is that by the end of the summer, the interns will have a clearer picture of how God might have gifted them and where he may be calling them to exercise those gifts.
Responsibilities:
The internship has both relational and administrative components to the job description. Goals will be set, tasks will be assigned, and expectations will be communicated and reviewed on a weekly basis. The work week will somewhat vary week to week but always including:

The Youth Choir will also go on a summer choir/mission tour to Birmingham, AL. You will assist in the planning and execution of this event.
