Cornerstone Community Church, La Crosse, WI
www.cornerstonelacrosse.org

We are a young church part of Converge Worldwide, with about 150 weekly attenders at our downtown location. As a young church (average age about 32) we have a small but fast growing Jr High group (we do NOT have anything for High School students). We are looking for an intern with interests and experience in youth ministry to come along side our volunteer team of adults, to build out the foundation for a viable and sustainable youth ministry. 

We are looking for a person with drive, initiative and love for youth. We will provide room and board, regular mentoring with our experienced pastoral staff team (both Associate and lead pastor have strong young ministry background to encourage), and mentoring relationship with one of our gifted leadership overseers/elders. We are open to either a male or female Intern, as we also have male and female leaders on our Overseer's Team. 

We will be providing a modest salary for the summer months (TBD) but you will find in Cornerstone a very committed community of Believers that don't just talk about reaching others...we live it! We have a vibrant Sunday culture, have the 2nd largest Food and Clothing Bank in the area (open every Thursday) and a plan to reach our local community and the world. 

Most of the Junior High youth have committed parent leaders who will assist in any way possible, and a team to back you up. This is not a role for someone who loves and needs hand-holding to thrive, but someone with drive and initiative, who needs peers around to grow as a better leader through the relationships and mentoring we will provide.

Looking for someone to start in May if possible, but timing is flexible for the right person or persons.

Apply in complete confidence today. Please email resume and include a brief cover letter to explain why you may be well suited for this ministry and why you are interested in it.
