Application Deadline: May 1, 2024

Description


The purpose of Resound Project is to strengthen new and existing churches in light of the changing cultural context so that the gospel of Jesus Christ might resound to the next generation. We recognize that one of the greatest difficulties facing the church today is a lack of leadership that understands the unique features of this cultural moment and offers a vision for ministry that is adequate for the times in which we live. The Church needs to invest in the discipleship of emerging leaders in order to sustain a faithful encounter between the gospel and contemporary culture. To that end, Central Presbyterian Church in New York City is seeking to function as a “teaching hospital” through Resound Project, creating a pipeline of future leaders to serve the Church in a variety of different contexts.


The Emerging Leaders Programs provide various points of entry for qualified candidates who exhibit a desire to learn from our particular philosophy of ministry. The programs are based on life stage, educational level, and vocational interest.

Requirements


The Ministry Internship Program is offered to qualified candidates who have discerned a call to ministry and who are pursuing a degree from an accredited seminary. The purpose of the program is to help students grow spiritually and clarify their sense of call while worshipping and serving in the local church.

The internship is designed so that students receive a substantial amount of relational and spiritual support from the congregation and its members while also gaining extensive experience in ministry. Some Ministry Interns eventually serve the Church as senior, associate or assistant pastors or as ministry directors, and many become excellent candidates for future positions at any one of the churches in the growing Resound network.


PASTORAL INTERNS:

  • Work 20 hours per week at the local church for a renewable one-year period in supervised ministry in a specific area, such as Community Groups, Pastoral Care, Young Professionals, College Ministry, Youth Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Church Administration, or Mission and Evangelism;
  • Pursue an advanced degree such as a Master of Arts or a Master of Divinity through an accredited seminary;
  • Participate in a series of modules focused on leadership, preaching, mission, pastoral care, cultural dynamics, and church renewal;
  • Receive a monthly stipend and scholarship for seminary.
  • The next class of interns will begin in September 2024.
