Worship Leader Intern
We are excited to share that another intern has applied in the area of Worship Ministry. Ben Kunkel was the piano player when Well Spring from Spring Arbor led worship for us a few months ago. He loved our church and our service and felt led to reach out about the internship. Ben has transferred from Spring Arbor to Jackson Community College to study nursing, but his heart is in music and worship leading. Like Hayden, Ben would have the opportunity to grow in experience in ministry, working alongside Jan and Kyle as he participates in and helps lead worship. If accepted, he would transfer to KVCC and move into the parsonage. The process is underway and but far from decided. We are informing the congregation at this early stage to ask for prayer for Ben and for Consistory as we pursue this exciting opportunity together. Ben will likely come and lead worship sometime in the next month as part of his application process.
