An intern in the Care Ministry will actively assist the needs of Red Rocks Classes, Support Groups, Recover, and other general Care-related opperations. One can expect to participate in leader trainings, class launches, the inner-workings of a biblically based 12-step recovery program, and office administration in accordance with such ministries. Typical schedule expectations include participation in all Care events, dinners, and celebrations along with Youth, Young Adults, and Sunday service responsibilities. This internship will advance skills in pastoral care/resourcing, proactive and reactive interventions, volunteer coordination and discipleship, and much more. A Care Ministry intern may also shadow the processes of pastoral counseling, senior care, funerals, weddings, and hospital visitations. Below are short descriptions of Care’s three main ministries.

• Red Rocks Classes offer a wide variety of biblical curriculum that educate and assist people in navigating various stages of life.
• Recover is a Christ-centered 12-step program for anyone recovering from an array of life issues.
• Support Groups are topic-specific groups working through biblically based curriculum that address a variety of different needs and demographics within our congregation.

Campus Operations Interns are self-starters, problem-solvers, attentive to details, and gifted with people. This internship will involve everything from nitty gritty details behind the scenes, to large-scale events for all of Red Rocks Church. Aspects of the Campus Operations internship will include: internal and external campus communication, pastoral moments with the congregation mid-week and during weekend services, interacting with the congregation via phone/email/dm, building relationships among volunteers, interacting with congregation members regarding financial assistance, and event management for all-RRC events such as Christmas, Easter, Baptisms and campus events.

The Creative Internships are collaborative positions that work in an open-office environment with all Creative team members to produce various assets for the church. The Creative Team supports all campuses and ministries from a central level. Creative intern roles include ministry support, weekend experience, large holiday services, special events (i.e. worship nights, baptisms, women’s conference, etc) and also entail running errands, building furniture, picking up apparel, etc. Above all, creative interns require a servant’s heart and the ability to take direction. The emphasis of the Design internship is on design creation in the forms of print, digital, web, environmental, and stage. An intern must be proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Design interns will assist on photo shoots, video production, and procuring equipment and props may be needed. While this internship gives experience in these areas, we cannot guarantee that intern-created assets will be used on a Sunday.

Creative Internships are collaborative positions that work with Creative Team members in an open-office environment to produce various assets for the church. Since the Creative Team supports all campuses and ministries from a central level, Creative intern roles include everything from ministry support, weekend experience, large holiday services and special events (i.e. worship nights, baptisms, women’s conference, etc.) to running errands, building furniture/props, and picking up apparel, etc. The emphasis of the Video and Photography internship also includes participating in the conception, administration, collaboration, and production of visual content as well as engaging and supporting Creative volunteers. Creative experience (with photography and video specific skills) is always a plus, but above all, excelling as a creative intern is about the willingness to serve others with a teachable attitude. Project requests, deadlines and filming schedules fluctuate often which means interns applying for this position will need to maintain a flexibility that includes working outside of regular hours. This internship provides many opportunities to learn and grow in all aspects of the creative field!

The Rock Database and IT internship offers the chance to work with all ministries at all campuses. Using our Rock RMS database, we support each ministry’s needs ranging from event registration to volunteer management and any other processes they may need. In addition to maintaining our entire church database, data clean up, etc., this internship path also includes responsibilities working in IT, like maintaining and troubleshooting computers, our welcome center technology and checkin stations. As an intern, you will consistently be faced with learning and problem solving opportunities. You will have the unique opportunity to help behind the scenes with how things operate at RRC. Having IT or database experience is not a requirement but you will need to be technically minded and willing to prioritize the needs of various ministries.

The Red Rocks Groups Internship is focused on developing leaders for the sole purpose of making disciples of Jesus. Each weekend, thousands of people stream through the doors of every campus, sit in rows and are met by God’s truth and His great love. But what they do next matters most. We want to engage every person to live out the life to which Jesus calls His disciples. At Red Rocks Church, our leadership desires to make those weekend service rows into circles where people will grow in their relationship with God and with others. Each week, we have over 4,000 people meeting in homes as part of our Groups Ministry. Due to the number of people as well as those deeply desiring community, there is a need for constant new leadership development. As an intern you will serve in a high-level capacity alongside our Campus Groups Ministry Leads and Groups Team Lead. You will play an active role in developing and training new leaders, planning and organizing Groups events, as well as helping grow the Groups ministry here at Red Rocks Church.

Red Rocks Kids is multi-faceted ministry. From preparing small group activities to setting up rooms to building into volunteers to central and campus meetings to rehearsals and programming, everything is about what we call “the Superbowl.” That’s every weekend when over 1,500 kids arrive at all our campuses, a place where hundreds of volunteers serve and help kids to know and love Jesus. Thus the internship is equally multi-faceted. Interns who choose to be a part of Red Rocks Kids will learn every aspect of this ministry and more. Our desire is not only to envelope our interns into the ministry but to do all we can to grow them in their respective gifts and in leadership. So come be a part of one of the most life changing ministries in the church.

The Red Rocks Production Internship is focused on supporting technical arts needs churchwide. Interns will work under campus and central production staff in learning many aspects of production in audio, video, and lighting. Interns will assist in weekly services, big projects, upgrades, installs of equipment and learn to troubleshoot gear. Interns may also be given a chance to oversee the technical execution of weekend services. This internship supports the technical and creative side of execution for all ministries. This includes but is not limited to the Weekend Experience, Youth, Young Adults, MOPS, retreats, worship nights, baptisms, and special events.

Red Rocks Outreach exists to make Jesus known by creating compelling opportunities to love others through service. Each year Red Rocks Church partners with church plants and organizations internationally and locally to help meet the needs of their communities. As an Outreach intern, you will work alongside church staff to identify community needs and mobilize the church body to partner with existing organizations to resource and serve those needs in a local city context. Outreach interns will seek out, develop, and maintain relationships with designated non-profits, and help organize and lead service projects/opportunities. You will experience everything from behind the scenes logistics and project organization to praying, serving, and loving on those in all seasons of life. Interns are expected to be self motivated, organized, and people-oriented leaders who have a passion for outreach.
