Dear Prospective Intern,

Thank you for your interest in an Intern Position with DeepWater Church. We believe that this internship is a

great opportunity for people who want to grow in their relationship with Christ, grow in leadership, engage in

meaningful ministry through the local church, share Christ with others, and enjoy their job. In this packet you

will find information about DeepWater Church, and internship goals & responsibilities, all of which will help

inform you about this exciting opportunity. After you have read this information and are prayerful about this

opportunity, please take time to fill out the Employment Application and send it in as soon as you can with a

resume. Internship positions will be filled as applications are received, applicants are interviewed and a viable

candidate is identified. You can read further about the application process.

Please note that there are two internships available and since we are a church plant, our interns will gain

experience in a variety of ministry environments. If there is a particular area of ministry an intern is looking to

gain more experience we will do our best to focus them as best we can. However, we want intern candidates

to understand that we are a church that launched in September 2018 and so our approach is grass roots.

Again, thank you for your interest. I look forward to receiving your application.

In Christ’s Joy,

Rev. Paul Coleman

Lead Pastor

About DeepWater’s Summer Internship

Equipping young leaders to serve Christ with integrity and excellence is a high calling. DeepWater has

identified a ministry imperative that has motivated our church to help build up young leaders in the church.

During the summer DeepWater will offer college students/recent graduates the opportunity to devote a

season of time to spiritual growth and self-discovery through service in the local church.

Equipping/Instruction

Throughout the internship, interns will be taught by pastors and leaders on topics such as Bible study

methods, gospel-centered living, the local church, missions, spiritual gifts, worship, spiritual disciplines,

leadership, and more. These teaching times are designed to equip interns with foundational truths that will

build character and knowledge that is essential for their role as healthy members in a local church and

community. DeepWater interns will be a part of a combined intern teaching time with interns from The

Church at LifePark in Mt. Pleasant.

Practical Ministry

Interns will serve throughout the summer and will gain “hands-on” ministry experience in all areas of ministry

at DeepWater Church. Interns may be asked to teach, train, lead, listen, observe, build, and connect in a

variety of different ways.

The Main Things

The Great Commandment & the Great Commission fuel the work of our church and so interns can expect to

grow closer to Christ through worship, fellowship, discipleship, serving in the church and evangelism. Jesus has

called us to take the good news to people, in word and deed, and students will participate in local and regional

mission opportunities. You will be positioned to be a missionary on the Isle of Palms & Sullivan’s Island.

We believe the primary context for life-change is within relationships. DeepWater will have mentors and will

be challenged to lead others throughout the summer.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who can be an Intern?

Any recent college graduate or current college student that has completed their freshman year.

Is this a paid Internship?

Yes, DeepWater will provide a stipend of $2,000 for the 10 week internship (paid bi-weekly) as well as cover

the costs of any DeepWater ministry related expenses throughout the summer.

How many hours per week is the Internship?

The internship will be approximately 20 hours a week and will be spread out throughout the week. However,

this schedule will fluctuate based on evening and weekend responsibilities. Please note that interns will

participate in some next generation (kids & student ministry) events. Participating in the execution of these

next generation events will serve as an important way for interns to grow.


Vacation Bible School – July 13-16 – Will be from 5:30-8pm and we will work in collaboration with St. Mark’s

Lutheran Church on the Isle of Palms, which is the church that allows us to use their facility.

Student Ministry Camp – July 24-27 – This is a 4 day/3 night camp for our students.

WEEKLY REQUIREMENTS: (More detailed schedule to be provided at beginning of internship)

Worship Service – SUNDAY – 5pm – staff is there from 2:30-6:30pm

LeadershipTeam Mtgs – MONDAY – 9:30-11am

Intern Times – WEDNESDAY -- 11:30-1:30pm (will be hosted at The Church at LifePark)

Student Ministry – WEDNESDAY – 6:30-8pm

*There will be other times added at the beginning of the internship, these are the known days and times.

Can I work another job or take summer classes in addition to the Internship?

Ideally the internship works best when it receives focused attention as the primary focus for the intern.

However, if an intern desires to have another job or take classes that will not conflict with the internship, that

is understandable. Please note that in the past, taking summer classes has caused some distraction, so be wise

and well-thought out if registering for summer classes. This is an ‘all-in’ internship that requires energy and

passion. The intern needs to be committed for the summer in order to get the desired experience.

Do I have to currently attend or be a member of DeepWater Church?

No, this internship is designed for all next generation leaders in the church. We feel compelled to help equip

you regardless of where you attend church locally. It is important to note that while an intern you are asked

to attend DeepWater’s worship services throughout the summer.

Is this Internship just for future pastors or church leaders?

No, this internship is for college or graduate students who desire to grow in their understanding of Jesus, the

church, and their role as a future part of Christ’s Kingdom. We do however believe that this internship will be

most valuable to those considering full time vocational ministry and at times this could come into play as we

review candidates.

When is the deadline for the application? And when will interviews be held?

Application period opened on January 15, 2020 and deadline for applications will be February 9, 2020,

however if the positions are not filled by this date, we will have an open and rolling application period until

the position is filled.

After an application is received the applicant will be contacted by someone from DeepWater about an

interview time. Most interviews are done over skype, depending on location of applicant. Please note that

internships have been and can be competitive and the fulfillment of a position will be at the discretion of the

interview team. If there are no viable candidates for an internship position than that internship can be left

unfilled.
