Internship
Gloucester Vineyard
Role summary: Gloucester Vineyard Church is a growing, missional church based in the centre of Gloucester. Our vision is to be a multisite church with small expressions of Gloucester Vineyard Church spread across the county. These expressions will be worshipping communities, missional communities, compassion ministries, homegroups and more. With this broad vision in mind GVC is committed to leadership training and development, with a particular emphasis on investing in the next generation of pioneering leaders. This internship is an outworking of that emphasis. We are seeking an intern to come and get stuck in with church life, go through the Vineyard Leaders College, and learn the ropes of how to lead in a Vineyard community context. During the internship the intern will spend most of their time following their interests and gaining experience in our existing ministries and activities. This includes participation in our Sunday gathering, Monday outreach activities (Vibes, Growbaby and/or Chai and Chat) and homegroups. There will be flexibility as well to pivot, try some ideas out and follow their passions. At the end of the internship we will explore options for ongoing leadership opportunities either inside or outside of GVC. Please note you must be 21 to attend Leadership College, unless you are taking the Youth Work leadership elective.
Responsible to: Senior Pastoral team
Term: The internship will run in parallel with the Vineyard Leadership College course
Expectations:
1. The intern will undertake a full day of college every Thursday during the college term
2. As part of the College course there is an expectation that the students will volunteer 1-2
evenings per week in the church context. We will discuss with you how you can best
meet that expectation at GVC
3. We would expect the intern to be present at at least 3⁄4 Sunday gatherings whether they
are allocated to a team that week or not
4. We would strongly encourage the intern to observe a weekly sabbath where they rest
from all work and engage in people and activities which bring them life and rest.
Remuneration: In return GVC will pay the interns way through the Vineyard Leaders College (equivalent to £1797) Alongside this the intern will receive 1:1 mentorship and supervision from the leadership team.
Probation Period: 2 Months
Based at: Working home or from Northgate Hall
