Next Generation Leadership Initiative

Calvary is a community of people whose sole desire is to reflect the love of Jesus in the world. One of the many ways we do this is through our weekly worship gathering. Each week, we are gathered by God, transformed by the Holy Spirit, and sent into our world by Jesus. As Worship and Music intern, the Next Gen. Leader will gain hands-on experience and learn how to plan, evaluate, and execute worship service, how to work on camera and run online service, setting the stage, team communication, scheduling, and production coordination.
