Building Church Leaders

“Northridge is awesome! I have been blown away by how genuine and kind everyone here is, not to mention how good they are at what they do. This church is incredible, and is doing amazing things to saturate the city of Rochester with the Gospel!”

“It was cool to see the impact of my work in Communications and Social Media through stories of people who found their way to Northridge through our platforms. I also got to learn more about what my strengths and weaknesses were in many different areas.”

“These last few weeks working at Northridge have been amazing. God has definitely been working in my life through this Residency.

I love the family atmosphere and how I immediately felt like I was apart of the family. Camp Better was probably the biggest highlight so far!”

“We love Northridge! My internship experience has been awesome. The people here are so great, and it has been such a joy to see their hearts for the gospel in the Greater Rochester area. My summer here has been a huge part in my preparation for ministry.”

“The best part of my internship with Webster NYM was getting to be a witness to how our church so beautifully fosters the students relationships with God and one another. I've seen lives and attitudes of students radically changed in the past 10 weeks and find myself constantly praising the Lord for everything He has done through NYM! Best. Summer. EVER!”

“Working at Northridge Church this summer was a reminder of God’s faithfulness. The staff are some of the most loving, humble, selfless people I’ve ever met. The Lord used this internship to grow me by showing me areas I need healing and growth, taking me out of my comfort zone, and teaching me what servant leadership is. I’m truly thankful for the opportunity God gave me to be a part of this ministry over the summer.”

"Interning for Northridge was such a special opportunity to have a hands-on role serving in the local church while cultivating the gifts that the Lord has given me. In both of my summers interning, I gained real ministry experience & received direct guidance from staff while playing a role in seeing more & better followers of Christ at Northridge. I loved my time here and would love for others to get to experience the amazing ministries & family that has been cultivated here!"

“This summer was truly one for the books. I’ve been stretched in ways I didn’t know were possible. The staff at Northridge have taught me what ministry and fellowship truly is, and I will forever be impacted by them.

“Not only do we eat good, but we also learn a lot about ministry 😎. Jk, Northridge has shown me what it means to create a culture of hospitality while pushing me to grow in areas where I did not have experience.”

“Not only are the staff so fun and welcoming, but the work we get to do is real ministry. I got hands-on experience leading worship and it was so cool to see how through our team’s leadership and tenderness to the spirit, people’s hearts were moved.”

"Interning at Northridge has been the best experience I have had in ministry. Through serving at a growing church committed to Christ and serving their area, working on a staff who genuinely desires to see you follow the Lord's call, and doing the ministry that the Lord has called me to do, I have grown so abundantly and couldn't be more thankful!"

"My time at Northridge was truly amazing. The staff and church felt like a family. I was constantly encouraged, stretched, and discipled!"

"The time I got to spend at NorthRidge was truly such a gift in so many ways !! It was an absolute joy to work with so many amazing individuals that worked together as a team to be on mission for Christ and you felt the love and drive they have for the church and the community of Rochester. The entire summer was my favorite memory because there were so many different things that we got to be a part of and most importantly grow in my walk with Christ !"

“I've loved being a part of a church family that earnestly seeks to reach those who are far from the Lord, while genuinely loving and pointing them to Jesus. It's truly amazing and encouraging to see life change happen in a city that so desperately needs it.”

For ten weeks this summer, I received a hands on experience in my area of ministry, but also learned how a church works as whole and became part of Northridge family.
