1 St. Andrew s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, Minnesota, offers an exciting leadership development opportunity for young adults to utilize and grow in gifts for leadership, ministry, and service with children and youth. We invite your interest and your application! For summer 2017, St. Andrew s will select four interns (one for children s ministry, three for youth ministry) to participate in this amazing, life-changing leadership experience. Alongside St. Andrew s staff, interns design and implement creative summer programs that provide opportunities for young people to engage with their faith, learn and grow in community, and ultimately be transformed through encounters with God and within Christian community. More specifically, summer interns have the opportunity to: Experience the daily rhythms, joys, and challenges of a large, active congregation. Exercise gifts, talents, and passions for ministry leadership, specifically in working with children and youth. Design and implement creative ministries for children or youth, including camps and retreats, mission trips, worship experiences, Bible studies, small group gatherings, fellowship events, and more. Accompany young people on their journey of faith. Deepen one s own faith in Jesus Christ within a team environment and a faith community. Engage in intentional exploration of God s call to ministry/service with children and youth. Explore the organizational dynamics of a Lutheran megachurch. Participate in conversations with supervisors to evaluate and reflect on the internship experience for the purpose of learning and growth. St. Andrew s is a vibrant, growing congregation of 9,400 members in Mahtomedi, Minnesota, a small suburban community northeast of St. Paul. The church is guided by its mission statement to Proclaim Jesus Christ, Live in Christ, Serve. St. Andrew s is regarded for its active worship life, community outreach, and robust children, youth, and family ministry program. Approximately 2,400 people attend worship services each weekend. The Rev. Mike Carlson serves as lead pastor of a six-person pastoral leadership team. Over 100 individuals serve on the church s staff (approx. 60 are regular part-time or full-time employees).

Approximately work hours are expected each week, generally flexible depending on the demands of the week s programs or off-site trips. Interns can expect to work a variety of long and short days, early mornings and late evenings, weekdays and weekends again, depending on the demands of scheduled programs. During weeks without off-site obligations, interns will have one full day off, generally Fridays, as well as select Saturdays.
