• Small Groups Ministry Intern

  • Jun 2017 - Aug 2018

  Two separate terms: Summer 2017, Summer 2018 I’m grateful for my time serving Epikos Church. This multifaceted internship was structured heavily around organizational and interpersonal communication. My primary role was to provide research, written content, and editing services for our church-wide curriculum that served around 100 small groups. Given my proven abilities, I was also honored with the opportunity to assist new church members and baptismal candidates in writing their testimonies and communicating their faith stories publicly. Secondly, I collaborated with Small Groups and Discipleship ministry staff in recruiting and interviewing volunteer leaders. This led to the responsibility of coaching and mentoring a team of five small group leaders. Overall, it was a challenging and rewarding experience; I loved how the internship seamlessly tied together my strongest core competencies with my heart for serving and helping others. Show less
