Generation Unleashed Internship is a program like no other.  Because of its direct connection with City Bible Church and Portland Bible College, you will be involved in serving and being mentored by pastors and leaders from one of the Northwest’s many dynamic churches.   As a GU Intern you will gain ministry experience, vision and be developed into a servant leader equipped to reach your generation. The program is designed for you to be able to attend Portland Bible College and also be part of GUI.   In addition to the exposure and experience in CBC’s Generation Unleashed youth ministry, you will also receive practical internship training service in CBC worship, creative arts, pastoral, missions, audio and video, admin or Children’s ministry.

Who We Are

• Intern Devotions: We start out each day with corporate prayer and worship. This is a time when we come together to seek God, intercede for our city, schools, and our church.
• Leadership Discussions: Every week interns get the opportunity to be apart of leadership discussions with some of our GU youth pastors. These interactive sessions are a powerful time of personal challenge and leadership growth.
• GU Services: Our interns are a huge part of all things Generation Unleashed. From set up and tear down and leading pre-service prayer, to the GU worship team and to praying for kids on our alter teams, the interns have a hand in every aspect of GU.
• Campus Outreach: As an intern, you will be apart of leading a campus club. This is a hands-on opportunity to go into schools to see God do great things.
• Serving: As an intern you will be stretched and grown in many different ministries. From working with the GU pastors, to assisting worship teams and campus pastors; from children’s ministry assistants, to learning new skills in audio/visual departments.  By exposing you to so many areas of the church our hope is that you’ll find a new clarity for your own gifts and passions.
• Pastoral Encounters: One of your favorite things will quickly become the weekly meetings with world renown pastors from both CBC and around the area. You will have the opportunity each week to hear from and talk with pastors from every area of ministry.  In the past we’ve had such great mentors as Judah Smith, Chad Veach, Carl Lentz, Patrick Kiteley, Frank Damazio come and speak to us.
