Lord willing, it is our desire to plant churches in similar contexts as our own, by training and sending out teams.

This means that we are praying and asking God to send us Church-Planting-Missionaries to live and serve the in inner-cities of Redford.

Gospel Workers serve both our church and our city by being urban missionaries. In our church they can be found discipling new believers, preparing for our weekly gatherings, and meeting with members. To our city, they seek to be positive role models, faithful friends, and evangelists in the neighborhoods that they live. All Gospel Workers are support-raised funded.

These positions are open to those outside of our partnership churches. If you have the desire to labor faithfully in an inner city context, and in interest in learning how to navigate the complexities of the city while also teaching others to do the same, you might consider applying for a Gospel Worker position with Commonwealth Church.

Commonwealth Church has two types of Intern positions. The first is for members of our church who desire to be discipled and serve the body. This position is for men and women who have time, at least on a part-time basis, to dedicate being around our ministry, staff, and city.

The second type of Internship that we have is for those who come to Commonwealth Church on a short-term basis from one of our Partner Churches. These Interns will live with one of our members for the length of their time with us, and will spend their time serving in our church by being part of our ministry, staff, and city.

Both types of Interns will learn a tremendous amount by being “taught and caught.” Direct discipleship will take place, as well as a number of different opportunities that will be afforded to interns to learn by observing and being part of the team.

Interns from partner churches can serve for up to 15 weeks or for as short as 9 weeks. We provide assistance in raising the finances needed as well as training, support, and care while in Redford.
