To ensure a reputable, sustainable, and healthy ministry example, all Wellspring interns (summer and year-long) will be held to a high standard. The following guidelines are a list of the expectations that we have of interns that represent Wellspring Community Church. Please know that children, teenagers, and parents are watching you. They are examining the way you live both in person and through your social media presence. We want to ensure our interns are setting an example to them that is worth following. For that reason, we ask you to follow these guidelines:

1. No questionable social media posts of any kind (questionable posts would include photos of you drinking alcohol or smoking, photos of you showing off your body that is clearly a grab for attention, political posts that cause controversy or division, discriminatory posts of any kind, etc.)

2. Follow biblical guidelines if you choose to drink alcohol (e.g., no drinking unless over 21, no drinking in the presence of minors, getting drunk is sinful and unacceptable, social drinking is strongly discouraged as people do not know if you’ve had one drink or ten drinks, no photos on social media around alcohol, etc.) If you’re trying to find a workaround to some of the examples listed above, you’re probably crossing a line. Essentially, ask yourself, “is what I’m about to do going to help others grow in Christ?” If the answer is no, then don’t do it.

3. No drug use of any kind unless prescribed by your doctor

Failure to follow any of the above guidelines could result in being removed as an intern.
