PURPOSE
The Rock Point Internship is designed to help young adults connect faith, leadership, and real-life
ministry. Through hands-on experience, coaching, and intentional development, interns grow into
healthy leaders—whether their future is full-time ministry or living out their calling as a follower
of Jesus elsewhere.
WHO WE ARE
Rock Point Church is a thriving, Jesus-centered church of over 7,000 people in one of the
fastest-growing areas of the Phoenix metro. We're passionate about reaching the next generation
through authentic teaching, powerful worship, and ministries that meet people where they are. We
exist to point people to Jesus, by loving them like Jesus.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
This non-paid ministry internship is for college students and young adults who are:
Passionate about Jesus and curious about their calling
Eager to grow as leaders and servants
Relational, teachable, and team-oriented
Ready to learn by doing
You don't need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to grow.

Rock Point Kids exists to point Kids to Jesus by loving them like Jesus and to develop fearless Jesus followers! We want kids to know who Jesus is and grow in their friendships. We strive to engage Rock Point Kids through age-specific weekend programming and a small group discipleship model. In the Rock Point Kids Internship, you will work alongside our dynamic and incredible volunteers to develop safe, exciting, and caring atmospheres where kids learn to love the church in a way that will last their lifetime.
Middle School (Grades 6-8) YTH is all about Jesus and community. Every Wednesday we love to have fun whether this is through hanging out or our incredible games in service. We have dynamic worship and great communicators who help point YTH to Jesus and understand what the Bible says. As a middle school intern, you will come alongside our great Middle School team to see the inner workings of the ministry and learn how to do this ministry.
High School (Grades 9-12) YTH is all about Jesus and community. On Sunday night we welcome hundreds of high school YTH to come and worship Jesus as a community. As a High School intern, you will see how we operate and manage this ministry. You will be a part of planning and executing events, services, and more. We also have a great partnership with Casteel High School, and you will be able to experience that relationship as well.
In the Rock Point Young Adults Internship, you will work alongside our dynamic staff and incredible leaders to develop an authentic, real, and transparent culture and home for our young adults. Through this experience, you will be challenged and encouraged to grow in ways you have yet to experience. Thursday is church, but probably not what you think.
Regardless of your current stage of life, biblical knowledge, or church experience, our Adult Ministries are designed to help adults find connection and purpose in their relationship with Jesus. An intern with Adults will see the inner working of groups, classes, recovery, and care ministry at Rock Point.
Our purpose is to point people to Jesus by loving them like Jesus. How do we do that? We strive to light the path by providing clarity to everything we produce and point back to Jesus. We use our creativity and the tools God has given us to make sure the different ministries’ messages are heard. As a Communications intern, you will see how we do that on a practical level through video, photos, social media, website, and more!
Rock Point Worship exists to serve the church by loving God and people through faithful commitment and undistracting excellence. In your worship internship, you will grow your knowledge of God and what it means to worship Him and also what it looks like to practically serve the church from a worship context.
Our production ministry at Rock Point helps deliver an excellent, distraction-free service environment. If you’re creative, intuitive, hard-working, and have a passion for visual excellence, this is the right ministry for you. As a production intern, you will work with our amazing team and top-of-the-line equipment to point people to Jesus every weekend. You will have hands-on training in audio, lighting, stage design, and much more.
