Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Woodstock, GA
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Church in America (ELCA). We seek to follow Jesus, serve all people, and strive for justice and peace. We commit our time, talents, and prayers to support the congregation and local community, plus regional, churchwide, and global ministries through the ELCA. Our internship program is open to young adults ages 18-25.
This internship program seeks to raise up the next generation of young leaders by providing hands-on ministry experience, intentional coaching, and spiritual formation. While not all interns continue into ministry, it is often through serving in ministry that one senses a call and is able to confirm that call with others.

- develop transferable ministry and career skills
- grow in leadership, confidence, and competence
- develop a deeper relationship with Christ
