Colts Neck Community Church was planted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1976 in the beautiful farm town of Colts Neck, New Jersey. It is a healthy, vibrant, loving church committed to Biblical truth, the Gospel, and mission! There is genuine joy when they gather for worship and fellowship. The congregation is multi-generational with an even balance of different age demographics. Even so, children and teenagers comprise about 1/5 of the gathering community on any Sunday. The church desires to see the Lordship of Christ spread throughout their town, county, state, society, and all the tribes and nations of the world. Pastor Chris Durkin has led Colts Neck Community Church for 14 years by continually directing the church and the staff to the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. He genuinely enjoys building friendships with the other pastors of the church. He strives to lead by example, work hard, encourage, listen, mentor, and be a peacemaker.
The church loves to study God’s Word and sing of God’s glory! Their musical style is modern/contemporary, and they love singing theologically rich songs that focus on the truth of God’s Word. The typical worship team includes acoustic and electric guitars, keys, bass, drums, and 2-3 vocalists. The Sunday schedule includes identical services at 9:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.
This is a part-time, paid, one-year internship. The music ministry intern will be expected to serve on Sundays and at least one night
of the week. This position is for someone who is a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. The candidate must be able to agree to
