Ministry Intern
United Campus Christian Fellowship, Grand Rapids, MI

The intern will work approximately 10 hours per week between late August 2023 and late April 2024. If applicable, the internship can be for credit. There also is a $1,000 per semester scholarship or stipend.

The intern will experience all facets of campus ministry as UCCF works with students and administrators at Grand Rapids Community College, Kendall College of Art and Design and Grand Valley State University plus denominational bodies and local congregations. Campus ministers must do a bit of everything, and so will the intern.

Applicants may be persons in undergraduate, graduate or seminary programs, or graduates. Membership in the PC(USA), UMC or ELCA is not required.

UCCF does not have a physical office so meetings and supervised work will occur on campus or other public spaces. There may be evening and weekend meetings.
