BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - College and Young Adult Ministries Intern

PROJECT: The College and Young Adult Ministry Intern will have the opportunity minister to this demographic in the context of a small, recently planted congregation.  There is also openness to tailoring the seminarian’s role to provide other ministry experiences as well (e.g., preaching, teaching adult education, ministering to children, etc.).  This person will work in collaboration with the pastor and 1 or 2 lay leaders designated to help with ministry to this demographic in our congregation. It would be ideal to work with someone in the care process of the PC(USA), but that is not a requirement.

HOURS INVOLVED: 12-15 hours/week

CHURCH CHARACTERISTICS: Bethany started in 1989 as a vibrant Christian fellowship of college and university students meeting at the Korean Church of Boston; it was chartered as an independent congregation in the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2003.  Over the last 6 years the congregation has quickly become a family church, with almost 30 children under the age of 8.  We worship in a public school auditorium in Brookline, and most midweek ministry happens in members’ homes around the Greater Boston area.  We continue to have a large number of collegians and young adults among our membership, and many play an active role in the church’s ministry and mission.

Our worship is Christ-centered and ordered by the Word. It includes both traditional and contemporary forms. As a new church we are still discerning our unique identity and mission. We offer seminarians a great opportunity to play a part in nurturing a young church’s ministry and mission, and to be nurtured by the pastor and other leaders in the process.
