The position of the ECM intern is primarily a servanthood ministry. While assisting the chaplain and, at times, the students, peer minister(s), officers, and/or advisory board in the routine administration of ECM’s day-to-day operations, interns will play a crucial role in the ongoing life and ministry of ECM.

♦ ASSISTING WITH COMMUNICATIONS & PUBLICITY, which includes copying, collating, and preparing mailings, newsletters, flyers, etc; reserving space for advertisements in the campus newspaper and other print publications; overseeing the timely and adequate distribution of ECM posters and flyers at strategic, high-traffic points on campus; and overseeing the timely creation and installation of sheet banners during strategic times of the year.

♦ MANAGING THE ECM CALENDAR, which includes ensuring that ECM events do not conflict with one another or with major events at the university; confirming dates and reservations for larger events, advisory board meetings, trips, and retreats; sending reminders to ECM leaders regarding upcoming events and meetings; coordinating volunteers for service projects; and assisting the chaplain in managing the week-to-week behind-the-scenes deadlines inherent to this ministry.

♦ MAKING RESERVATIONS with the appropriate personnel at GSU for upcoming on-campus ECM events.

♦ PREPARING LITURGICAL MATERIALS for regular and special ECM worship events, which includes preparing the chaplain’s and music leaders’ worship books; printing and preparing the appropriate collect and readings for services; serving as “sacristan” to ensure that adequate elements and supplies are prepped and ready for Eucharists; and copying and binding new student worship booklets when needed.
