Rosalind Hills Baptist Church - Roanoke - PT Minister of Youth

First Baptist Asheboro is a very mission-minded church.  We are active in reaching out to our local community as well as sending our people all over the world to share the Gospel message.  Our missions ministry envelops many different areas of missions and evangelism.  We have 2 active multi-housing ministry sites through which we do various kinds of ministry from Bible Studies to children's programs and block parties.  The intern will be heavily involved in the ministry at these two sites. 

In 2006, we have mobilized over 120 of out members through our missions ministry outside of Asheboro.  From Jan.-August we sent out 10 mission teams to various parts of the world and nation.  The intern will probably be involved with numerous mission experiences.  This could involve helping a team prepare to leave to going with a team. 

We have started a group of unbelievers at a local Soda Shop this year.  This group is made up of unbelievers or believers who have been burned by the local church and have no desire to go back to church.  It is our hope and prayer that several more groups like this one will surface so we can lead people to Christ in our community. 

The intern will also be involved in various acts of service in our community.  They will lead teams of members to serve in various local organizations like the Family Crisis Center, the Christian United Outreach Center, the Soup Kitchen etc… 

This internship will help our congregation step out into new avenues of ministry to our local community.  The internship experience will give the intern a taste of missions on the local and international level. 

Our church is a very loving, warm and accepting place.  It's an excellent and healthy envinroment for a young person finding their way in ministry and seeking out their calling in life.  Our staff has unusually long tenure here.
