Intern Ministry

Written by SRBC Staff | 11 January 2010

Every Summer South Run calls a summer intern who is a college or seminary student to give extra attention to youth and children's ministries for ten weeks. This ministry has an excellent success rate at South Run and is a tradition dating from the beginning of the church. The intern adds focus and energy. We anticipate expanding the intern ministry beyond the six months of the summer because it is a valuable way to train future ministers.
