Internship
Teesside Vineyard
God is on the move in the North East of England, and we are looking for a female intern to join us as we seek to build our Church, reach our community and impact our world.
Teesside Vineyard Church was planted a little over 14 years ago in a front room with a handful of people. Over the years we’ve met in pubs, hotels and a local college. Fast forward to 2 years ago, and we were gifted a beautiful old Church building that had been empty for years. What opportunities for life, ministry and life change it has created.
So, come and join an 11 month programme that’s designed to help you grow and develop in your walk with Jesus, and to prepare you for all that’s to come. Be a part of a Church that is pioneering new initiatives in communities and is looking to plant new congregations.
Could this be you? Please get in touch with [email protected] / 07815 952 492 for more information.
