Ministerial Internship ProgramThe First Parish Church in Weston is a vigorous suburban Boston congregation with a strong social justice orientation and a wonderful Church School program. Ministerial Interns have the opportunity for learning about all ministerial vocations in a supportive congregation long devoted to supporting ministers-in-training. An active Unitarian Universalist Christian congregation, with approximately 500 members, First Parish also has a large staff team that serves members and church visitors from an assortment of religious backgrounds. Each internship program is tailored to the educational and experiential needs and hopes of the individual intern. Past work experiences and future vocational goals are considered when establishing the time and effort the intern will devote to youth and children's programs, adult religious education, worship leadership, committee support, etc. Interns also are expected to be part of the working ministerial program team and will spend most Sundays either assisting or leading in worship, leading Children's Chapel or visiting Church School programs. Working part-time, interns can be flexible in determining their weekly schedule but are expected to be present for weekly staff meetings (currently Monday mornings) and to be accessible during the week to staff and parishioners for other program and pastoral needs. A diverse and committed Intern Committee, with whom the intern meets regularly, is in place. Supervisor: Rev. Dr. Thomas D.
