About the Intern Program
At Harris Creek, we believe it is our responsibility to equip our congregation to seek the welfare of the city wherever it is that God has called them. For some, that may mean Waco for just a few years until graduation, while for others it could mean Waco for decades. We have many in our congregation that feel called to some kind of vocational ministry, whether it’s at a church in Waco, as a counselor in Houston, or on the mission field in Moscow. Because our staff feels a strong calling to help raise up and prepare the next generation of ministers and missionaries, we’re introducing the Harris Creek Intern Program.
This is an internship program designed to develop and equip individuals in various concentrations for ministry. Each internship, no matter the ministry concentration, will have weekly meetings with a staff member, quantifiable goals and objectives for the duration of the internship, and hands-on experience in their desired concentration.
We will have bi-weekly intern gatherings for all current interns (no matter the ministry concentration), where we have a chance to get together and talk about personal, professional, and spiritual development. Subjects will include things such as ministry philosophy, church business structure, task management, “tough situation” management, Q&A with church staff, and more. Attendance for these gatherings is mandatory as it is a vital part of the program. Browse our available internships below:
