International Interns & Fellows

The International Interns & Fellows Program is a 3 to 6 month full immersion, church-based ministry residency opportunity at Christ Redeemer Church. “Intern” is the designation given to those that are just beginning their ministry career, while “fellows” is the title given to our more seasoned participants. All participants will have exposure to and involvement in a wide range of ministry opportunities in and through CRC. In addition, it is CRC’s desire to foster mutually beneficial, long-term cross-cultural partnerships with our interns and fellows and their international contexts. The right candidate is 1) teachable—eager to learn and grow in a team ministry context, 2) a hardworking self-starter, 3) a lover of the local church, 4) has proven relational ministry success, and 5) a working command of English.

The purpose of the program is to help develop gospel-driven shepherds who are adept at leading God’s people in the mission of Christ’s church in a post-Christian context. Since we at CRC think that this shepherding ministry is a lifestyle and not just a “job”, there will be aspects of the residency that focus on the development of one’s marriage and family (if applicable), as well as, one’s personal life. Therefore, the candidate and his spouse ought to see this residency is a “family affair.”

Past participants are listed below, and an overview of the program is available here. Parties interested in applying to the program can contact Pastor Don Willeman or contact us at office@christredeemerchurch.org.
