Internships - Crossroads Community Church

Q: Is this a paid internship?

Some of our internships are paid and others are not. Generally speaking, the education and experience the intern brings with them during the interview process will dictate whether an intern is paid or not. Apply with the intent/understanding you are doing an unpaid internship.

Q: Will I have to be here every Sunday?

This will depend on the intern role you accept. If you are a pastoral intern or interning within our Crossroads Kids or worship/tech ministry, you can expect some Sunday hours. Even our RUSH student interns have a couple Sunday hours throughout the year when hosting special events for incoming 6th grade students.

Q: Am I guaranteed a job after my internship is done?

While we have an impressive track record of hiring interns (it is one of our favorite ways to locate future staff members!), we unfortunately cannot hire every single intern we bring on our team. You should enter into this internship assuming a future job is NOT guaranteed.

Q: Do I need my own computer and phone?

We will provide a computer for you to use during your internship. You will need to have your own cell phone.

Q: Are there internships at both campuses?

For the 2025/2026 academic school year, we are not offering internships at our Manitowoc campus. Our marketing internship supports both campuses so there may be a handful of occasions where you may need to be at our Manitowoc campus. All of our internships for the upcoming school year are based out of our Sheboygan campus.

PURPOSE

We are passionate about investing in leaders! We don’t take lightly the responsibility to ensure Crossroads is used by God for generations to come. To do this, we must be intentionally investing in people who will be leaders in the future. We offer a variety of internships that allow people to explore if God might be calling them to work in vocational ministry.
____________________________________
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for people who have a burden in their heart to make their life count for something. We value servant leadership as modeled by Jesus who "...did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45 We believe we can do ordinary things extraordinarily well as we help people connect with God and others at the crossroads in their lives. If you are faithful, humble, and teachable we believe we can give you an amazing internship (or residency) experience that will help you discern if a life dedicated to serving in vocational ministry is a calling you should be saying "yes" to.
____________________________________
EXPERIENCES

While we know our internships will allow you to experience and learn some amazing things, our primary goal is to develop YOU as a person! Depending on what team you join, you will be fully-immersed in the day-to-day ministry of Crossroads. You will join meetings, plan events, write compelling communications, develop speaking skills and grow in emotional intelligence and relationship building. We also take time out of our busy schedules for team building and fun shenanigans from time-to-time!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this a paid internship?

What would my hours be?

You will work out your office hours with your direct supervisor. Most of our student interns work anywhere from 3-10 hours a week (see job descriptions for specific hours) and there is flexibility (with advance notice) to accommodate school activities and commitments. Our pastoral interns range from 6 hours to 12 hours in most cases and some of their hours happen on Sunday mornings.

Will I have to be here every Sunday?

Am I guaranteed a job after my internship is done?

Do I need my own computer and phone?

How old do I need to be to intern?

At a minimum, we typically want interns to be old enough that they are entering their junior year of high school (or older) and able to drive themselves. You also don't have to be a "traditional student" who is going to college or tech school in order to intern here at Crossroads. (NOTE: We are willing to work with your school to offer you class credit for your internship if that is desired.) If you are past "young adult" age...don't count yourself out from doing an internship! Some of our best employees (including two of our pastors!) started as part-time, unpaid adult interns who were in their 30s, 40s and 50s!

This Present Darkness by Frank E Peretti. It uses fiction to give imagery to the spiritual battle that rages all around us that we cannot see.

The industrial revolution. It would have been fantastic to watch new inventions come out and social media hadn’t been invented yet.

How did you first come to Crossroads?

My mom and dad felt the Lord calling them to plant Crossroads, so I didn’t really have a choice! But I couldn’t be more thankful that my parents wanted their lives to count, so they were obedience to Christ. I am so grateful that God has had me at Crossroads since day 1, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Is there a story behind your name? What is it?

My name is Jesus, great responsibility and representation (In Mexico we say: The penance is in the name). In Mexico it is very normal for people to be called that, my father is called the same. For me it is a very important name that I do not take lightly. To be honest, I do not believe myself worthy of carrying it for our Lord Jesus, that is why my name was transformed into Jess when one of the influential people in my life told me that the name Jesus is better and goes more with my personality so I adopted it as my name.

What is one thing about you that people would find surprising?

I played professional soccer and was on a racing car team.

What’s the greatest bit of advice a parent or mentor has given you?

Your life will be marked by your consistency and your disposition.

I love playing sports with friends. Golf is my favorite, but volleyball, baseball, and basketball are also always fun.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I started going to college to become a sports broadcaster. Plans changed when I met my wife and realized that I wanted to be home with my family rather than traveling and working a lot of nights.

Besides the Bible, what book has changed you the most?

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer has had a profound impact on me in this crazy world. It has given me a better perspective on needing to slow down and walk in step with the Jesus.
