​Explore Your Call. Find Your Fit. Build the Kingdom.

Goshen First Brethren Church strives to grow in Jesus’ image, to love unconditionally as God loves us, and to share that good news with the community around us. As a part of this call to radical discipleship, compassionate witness, and community engagement, we are eager to invest in young and diverse leaders that can translate the Gospel for a new generation.

Pastoral Interns will gain hands-on ministry experience in the areas of worship, Christian education, and outreach, and as part of their training will take assessments to discover their own leadership gifts, personality, and fit. Interns will work with a mentor and small cohort to process and apply what they are learning about themselves in ministry.
