The Summer Internship is an exciting 8 week program for anyone who wants to learn the behind the scenes of Tech and/or Worship Ministries in the local church.
Internship Vision:
The primary goal of the Worship & Tech Summer Internship is to identify, equip, and mobilize individuals who will humbly and skillfully serve to fulfill God’s purposes for the local church. This internship program will aid in the overall vision of the Valley Vegas Tech & Worship Ministries through mentoring, training, and providing experience to individuals interested in the inner workings of the ministry at Valley Vegas Church (VVC).
The purpose of the internship program is to offer a broad scope of exposure to Christian ministry with practical experience in a local church setting. Our hope is that both the intern and church body would be mutually-edified throughout this program.
