You will also have the opportunity to be involved in our schools work, planning and running after–school clubs (including Friday night Kids Klub), reaching unchurched kids in the community. As a Children’s Work Intern, you will be a key player in helping to realise the team’s aim of enabling children of all backgrounds to connect with God in a meaningful way.

As a Worship Intern, you will be under the supervision of the Worship Co–ordinator and be involved in all aspects of the worshipping life of Willowfield Church.
