Young Adults and Intern Development Pastor

The Grove’s Young Adult ministry seeks to help young adults age 18 to 29 to understand what they were created for and equip them to live within a Christian worldview and answer the “big questions” of life. In addition, through internships and ministry training opportunities, we are developing future ministry leaders for the church around the world. The Young Adult and Intern Development Pastor plays an integral role in growing and training young adults, while creating and maintaining a robust system for ensuring interns are cared for and equipped into future ministry roles.
