With the summer now in full swing, we wanted to introduce you to our intern team!
Here at Berkley we aim to see the next generation discover their calling, whether that’s in a secular position or vocational ministry. Our Ministry Development Program is designed to steward talents, giftings, and passions of young people as they navigate life.
If you’re a high school student, college student, or young adult that’s interested in joining to MDP, send us a DM and we’ll get you connected!
