Last year the internship was primarily focused on the area of communications. This year the applicant guidelines were expanded in the hopes of encouraging more young LCC members to consider how they might use their gifts and talents in service of God’s people.

Potential applicants were invited to share their ideas on how they might get involved in church work on a national level, and selected applicants would then be provided with mentorship opportunities and resources to give church work a try—while getting paid for their work!

Alex Steinke, LCC Communications Director, and Lisa Jackson, LLLC’s Managing Director, are thrilled to announce the new interns for the summer of 2022: Andrew Hayes and Erika Schroth-Gajdos!

These two interns will receive mentorship from both organizations, with opportunities to come together for group discussions, brainstorming, and to workshop ideas and projects in a collaborative environment. Initial discussion surrounding potential projects for the summer and areas of work took place during preliminary interviews with both Andrew and Erika. Based on the talents, skillsets, and ideas of our two interns, it was determined that Andrew will work primarily on projects for Lutheran Church–Canada, and Erika will work primarily on projects for Lutheran Laymen’s League of Canada, with areas of cross-over and collaboration.

Please remember in prayer our 2022 interns, Andrew and Erika, as well as their supervisors, Alex and Lisa, as they work together these next couple of months!
