Summer Internship Program
Pursuing life and mission with Jesus means that we want to replicate Jesus’ model of discipleship. One of the many ways we do this is through our summer internship program, designed to allow college students to serve, study, and lead alongside the staff at Fellowship Greenville.
This program includes having interns in our following ministries: FG Kids, Student, Pastoral, and Family.
