Internship Program

Interns will primarily lead work crews and interface with families in need
The LPC approach to volunteer internships is somewhat unique. It would be better described as a ‘draft’ rather than a ‘hiring’. In the professional sports arena key players are ‘drafted’ based on skills, gifts and abilities rather than being ‘paired’ with tasks. LPC seeks to utilize the unique skills, gifts and abilities of interns in ways that complement our existing needs. For that reason, no ‘standard’ job description exists for interns. Intern applicants are asked to consider our mission & vision, our philosophy of ministry, our approach to ministry and our present task needs.

Following that consideration we want you to tell us what your job description should be. You know your gifts better than we would be able to assess through an interview. Tell us how you would fit into the ministry at LPC. Service on staff at LPC requires creativity, critical thinking and the ability to evaluate needs, assess solutions and implement those solutions on a daily basis. That is what you are being asked to do in this application and it is what you will be asked to do in every area of service at LPC.

In addition to the application we would ask for:

a letter of recommendation from the applicant's home church AND campus minister (if applicable).
We would also like a letter stating personal support from the parent(s) of the applicant.
Letters or e-mail are acceptable for both (electronic media is preferred) and should be directed to summerinterns@lpcpca.com

*All interns must raise support for salary from outside sources through personal and church sponsorships. Housing and meals are provided to interns through the program. Interns are responsible to provide their own health insurance, which is mandatory.

**Intern Dates for 2007 are May 23, 2007 through Friday, August 19, 2007. These dates are FIRM and we need you here for the entireity of that time. Training begins Wednesday, May 23rd.
