APPLICATION

NLC Internship Application

"Through this internship, God has shown me that when I first rely on Him I can then learn well, plan well, and serve well. I've grown more in my resting in my identity in Christ, which has steered me away from performing for others’ acceptance. I’ve begun to do all things for the Lord’s glory and not my own! Not only that, but the friendships that have formed during my internship have brought joy into my life and connected me with those I never expected to be connected with!"

"During my time in the internship, I was able to see God use the different tools and resources He has given us to advance His Kingdom forward. Graphics are a huge tool we can use to help someone understand a Sunday message better, remind them of prayer meetings, get people excited about being a part of God's family, etc. God taught me about the importance of building His Kingdom by loving others and working together to carry out a vision. New Life Church wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for the strong teams that make it up, each holding up multiple pillars for every area in the ministry. It made me appreciate so much more the amazing work God is doing, and as I travel back to California, my goal is to carry parts of this culture with me—not just to help my community grow, but to continue to help me grow as well."

"What God has taught me through this summer internship was to have more confidence in my walk/relationship with the Lord and just to have confidence in general! I also learned how to serve the church in the best way! I loved every second of this summer, from doing flood relief with the team to Friday morning workouts! I love that I get to call this church my home now!"
