Equip Intern for Young Adults, Ipswich

Colchester Road Baptist Church in Ipswich is looking for a part-time volunteer Equip Intern to work with Young Adults in the church, starting in September 2024.

Purpose of the internship
Part of our vision at CRBC is to raise up and release leaders who have a heart and vision for the Kingdom of God. This internship year is about the church investing in potential leaders who are hungry for God, who want to grow in Christ and be all that they can be for Him in the power of the Holy Spirit. Here’s an opportunity to take a year out, to deepen a relationship with God, to explore God’s calling and to discover more of your purpose in life.
 
Serving alongside a growing staff team, the intern will explore their gifts, serve, grow and lead in a variety of contexts within the life of this church but specifically offering leadership to our Young Adults Ministry. Training opportunities, peer support and mentoring will also be made available.
 
Main areas of engagement

• Maintain contact and community at CRBC for those aged 18-30, with social and worship programme. Building a community that will become self-sustaining.
• Reach young adults for the growth of our family at CRBC.
• Enable and develop the discipleship and pastoral care of young adults, encouraging them to engage with wider church activities and ministries.
• Support young adult communities in colleges, universities and Christian Unions.
• Establish and maintain contact with Young Adult Workers in Ipswich churches, as well as local and national organisations (such as UCCF and Fusion).
•  Join in the life and staff team of CRBC.
• Offer help and support to ministries beyond young adults, e.g. social media.
• Engage in a training programme as agreed with and funded by the church.

 
Cost and training
The part-time hours associated with the internship are undertaken on a voluntary basis and without remuneration. The church will cover reasonable expenses directly related to this voluntary role and provide accommodation with a church family.

Location
Your place of work will be the CRBC building at 75 Colchester Rd, Ipswich, IP4 4ST, but with flexibility to sometimes work from home with the agreement of your manager.
