Laurel believes very much in the growth and education of those seeking to serve our awesome God. In keeping with the idea of continuing eduation, Laurel Youth Fellowship (LYF) began working with college-aged summer interns in 2009. Our goal is to mutually benefit the interns and the youth program at Laurel. Our philosophy is to allow the interns enough freedom that they can have a true learning experience while giving enough guidelines that they are not completely on their own. 

 

Normally, we hire two interns (one male, one female). Summer internships at Laurel center around finding a rhythm of connection with God in the midst of a busy summer, learning how to serve and walk alongside students, and sharpening the talents God has given so that those talents become spiritual gifts. In addition to the relational side of ministry, interns are responsible for planning a devotional each week of the summer the youth group is in town (about 6), teaching Bible classes, and several other responsibilities along the way.
