What is a Marketplace Minister?
It begins with asking the question: ‘If all of life is about following Jesus, what could that look like in the workplace?’
At Worship.Works we believe that every Christian can serve God through whatever work they do in any sector or field. Serving God as a minister is not reserved only for those employed by a local church, but for all believers. With the talents, gifts, interests and skills that God has given you, you can go into the workplace as His representative (a marketplace minister) to serve your colleagues, clients or customers; to work with excellence in everything you do; to seek His Spirit’s wisdom and insight to guide you in every aspect of your job role; and to bring God’s Kingdom with you into your workplace.
How will I grow as a Marketplace Minister?
We all come from different Christian backgrounds and have a unique and personal journey of faith. At Worship.Works we want to welcome you where you’re at on that journey and come alongside you as you take the next steps in following Jesus in the area of work and career.
The graduate internship programme will help you grow and develop as a marketplace minister through:
- Teaching Biblical principles that specifically relate to the workplace.
- Mentors that help you apply these principles in your work context and support your spiritual and professional growth.
- Daily prayer sessions with the team to seek God together.
- Monthly Bible studies with the wider team.
What work will I be doing?
Our 2024 interns will be placed in a partner organisation that serves clients in the global healthcare industry. Your role within the consultancy will be in social media analytics and research. You will learn valuable transferable skills using the latest technologies and techniques for analysing complex social media data and developing insights.
Not only that, but you will be encouraged to work in the power of the Holy Spirit, and to expect Him to lead you as you carry out research.
You will also gain experience in client workshops; listening to client needs and scoping solutions; new business development and collaborating with colleagues in different kinds of business roles.
What career prospects will the programme give me?
After the successful completion of the 12 month programme, many of our interns are offered permanent positions within the organisation where they are placed and go on to long-term careers, thriving and growing in skills as they increase in responsibility and seniority.
Former interns have also moved on to roles with aspirational employers including Deloitte, Wellcome Trust, and Sainsbury’s HQ, where they have been able to put all they learned from the programme to great use as they continue to build their careers.
Applications for our 2024 intake are now open. Find out more information about our Christian Graduate Internship: Social Media Analytics and Research.
