Director, College Ministry & Internships

Join Our Team at Christ Church!

At Christ Church, every role matters because every team member matters. When you join our staff, you’re not just accepting a position; you’re stepping into a calling where your work directly impacts the next generation of leaders and our mission of “Uniting People to God and People to People.”

We’re looking for the new Director, College Ministry & Internships – a visionary, relational, and purpose-driven leader with a passion for reaching college students, cultivating emerging leaders, and building meaningful pathways for discipleship and service. If you love mentoring young adults, forming dynamic partnerships, coordinating impactful experiences, and shaping the next generation, this is your opportunity to influence lives and strengthen the Church for years to come.

As the Director of the College Ministry & Internships, you’ll be at the center of Christ Church’s efforts to reach, disciple, and empower college‑aged students and interns across all campuses. Your work goes far beyond running programs. You’ll be building community, developing leaders, and creating spaces where young adults experience belonging, purpose, and spiritual growth.

This role is active, relational, and full of momentum. You’ll lead outreach on local campuses, oversee a thriving church‑wide internship program, coordinate transportation and events that draw students into community, and ensure that every young adult who walks through our doors is welcomed, discipled, and cared for. Along the way, you’ll mobilize volunteers, shape systems, and collaborate across departments to create a seamless, healthy, and high‑impact ministry.

Here, your leadership doesn’t just run programs – it multiplies discipleship and expands Kingdom impact
.

• You’ll guide students in discovering their identity in Christ and living it out confidently.
• You’ll work with a supportive, innovative, and spiritually grounded team.
• You’ll help build a ministry that is vibrant, relational, and mission‑focused.

As the Director, College Ministry & Internships, you will lead five core program areas that shape the heart of this ministry:
College Partnerships & Outreach, Internship Program Management, the Right @ Home Program, Transportation Oversight, and Discipleship & Pastoral Care
. These areas form the foundation of your work — guiding how you build relationships, develop leaders, create meaningful experiences, and support the spiritual growth of students and interns across Christ Church. These core areas come to life through the practical, relational, and strategic work you’ll lead — and the responsibilities below outline how you will turn vision into impact.

• Cultivate dynamic college partnerships: Build strong relationships with colleges and universities, showing up on campuses, hosting outreach events, and collaborating cross‑functionally to boost visibility and recruit students and interns into a thriving Christ‑centered community.
• Lead a high‑impact Internship Program: Oversee recruitment, onboarding, training, mentoring, and evaluation. You’ll design clear systems and partner with other departments to ensure interns gain real ministry experience.
• Champion the Right @ Home Program: Recruit host families, match students with care, and manage all logistics to create a welcoming, meaningful holiday experience for students far from home.
• Ensure smooth and safe transportation: Manage shuttle routes, schedules, communication, and drivers so students can reliably access Christ Church. You’ll adjust services as needed and maintain all safety and liability standards.
• Lead discipleship and pastoral care environments: Create spaces where students and interns grow through prayer, teaching, mentorship, and community. You’ll walk alongside young adults as they explore faith and purpose and help build out the Quest College Program.
• Cross‑Functional Responsibilities: Strengthen the systems that power ministry by managing workflows, data, budgets, and policies with excellence. Partner across departments to support church‑wide events and ensure every area is aligned, efficient, and positioned for growth.
