Young adults have the opportunity to serve within the Worship Ministry, Equip Ministries, and Reach Ministries.

Internship Core Values

Experience 

We know that knowledge alone is not sufficient for training. Hands-on experience with evaluation and coaching is necessary for developing leaders. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to be actively involved in the ministry of Taylors FBC and receive evaluation and coaching from our faithful and experienced ministers. Our hope is that you will grow in your character, competency, and call!

Multiplication 

We see God’s plan for multiplication throughout Scripture, and our goal is to equip leaders who multiply themselves. Therefore, we will use reproducible training methods and resources to motivate and equip you to be multiplying leaders. Our hope is that you will make disciples who make disciples! 

Kingdom 

We do not seek to build our own kingdom but the kingdom of God. We will equip, develop, and deploy you with the hope and assurance that God has given Jesus all authority in heaven and on earth and has commissioned and empowered his people to go and make disciples among all peoples. With the vision of Revelation 5:9-14 and 7:9-10 before us, we will also prioritize and expose you to the work among the unengaged and underserved peoples within the highest concentrations of lostness in South Carolina, North America, and to the ends of the earth. Our hope is that you will be a part of building His kingdom among all peoples to the ends of the earth! 

Internship Goals

Character

At the core of the Establish Network Internship is Abiding in Christ. Abiding in Christ creates the foundation for the character and competency needed to establish the church. Therefore, our first foundational goal is to equip you with the tools to abide in Christ through His Word, Prayer, and Fellowship. 

Competency 

We will equip you to grow in your ministry skills so that you may be competent to make disciples, develop leaders, and establish the church. These skills will be gained through hands-on, meaningful ministry experience, personal coaching, and collaborative learning environments.

Call 

As disciples of Christ, we all have the responsibility to be his ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation where we live, work, and play. For some, God may also be leading you to a vocational ministry: minister, church planter, or missionary. Our hope is that during your time with us, God will continue to make His call clear and that you will be equipped to fulfill His call through the regular rhythms of your life and possibly through vocational ministry.
