Lisburn Internship

Join our team inviting the next generation to follow Jesus - (we'll have a laugh along the way too).

Exodus Lisburn

AN ENVIRONMENT PASSIONATE ABOUT JESUS

Strategically positioned in the heart of Lisburn our aim is to invite young people to follow Jesus, through events, schools work, mentoring and teams.  

Working alongside Joel and David, you will have the opportunity to serve in a fun, fast paced, Jesus-centred environment where you will:

  • Deliver Alpha courses and our new schools programme (SOAR) in a variety of Lisburn schools.
  • Plan and lead engaging programmes and events in our recently renovated venue throughout the year.
  • Harness your creativity through our vibrant Instagram account to inspire and engage the young people of Lisburn
  • Take ownership of our weekly outreach event - ‘Breakfast Club’, and develop our evangelistic vision by bringing your fresh and creative youth ministry ideas to life.
  • Journey with a group of young people on an Exodus Team and then go on an adventure to a foreign summer placement. 
  • Learn from and connect with other local youth workers at our monthly gatherings.
  • Mentor young people in Lisburn, opening up the bible and praying together with them. 
  • Be immersed in and soak up the fun, lively and passionate Lisburn community.                                                                            

Those joining the programme in Lisburn will also have the chance to serve alongside our team in Banbridge when opportunities arise.

Our Emerging Leaders Internships exist to raise up and release the next generation of disciple makers and youth ministry leaders.

Do you want to impact lives of hundreds of young people?

        Develop your leadership skills?

                Grow personally and spiritually? 

                         Work alongside a team of youth ministry leaders?

Our Emerging Leaders Internships are much more than a 'year out', but an opportunity to make a difference and discover your potential. 

Every internship includes:

  • Playing your part to reach and disciple young people with the life changing message of Jesus
  • Working alongside an Exodus staff member
  • 6+ Leadership Development Days, including innovative training from youth ministry leaders
  • 3 'Interns Together' days to connect with and learn alongside interns from other organisations
  • A 3 day residential 'Get Set, Go!' to kick off your internship (late August)
  • A Leadership Development Weekend in the Republic of Ireland
  • A 7-10 day 'Leadership Adventure' in Romania (early May)
  • A £450 subsidy towards any Exodus team
  • An Interns Leadership Development Journal
  • Mentoring from an older Christian

Expectations

Exodus Interns can have a huge influence with local young people.

Those applying should be:

  • Passionately pursuing a growing relationship with Jesus
  • Enthusiastic to see others grow in faith.

Finance

COSTS

Interns are asked to contribute £250 to be part of the Emerging Leaders Internship. 

Interns who opt into the Romania Leadership Adventure will be asked to pay a further £550 for this experience. This is an unforgettable development trip hosted at Exodus Romania and is not to be missed.

Exodus subsides the cost of each internship by around £2000. As a result, Interns are strongly encouraged to do some fundraising for their local centre. For most interns, this will involve sharing during a church service or hosting an information/fundraising event within the first 8 weeks of their internship.

SUPPORT

Interns receive all other materials and development opportunities throughout the year at no additional cost.

This includes:

  • A bursary of £500 towards an Exodus Team personal contribution.
  • Out of pocket expenses of up to £150 per month for commuting and meals consumed during work.
  • Enrolment to the Interns Together Programme
  • Use of a work laptop (if required)
  • All costs covered for the Get, Set, Go! Residential in August.

*Exodus do not provide interns with lodging or meals outside of work hours
