We consider ourselves to be a teaching congregation. Also see: The congregation's web site The congregational packet prepared during our search for Rev Straube: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/39560/1stUUPacketWhole.pdf Ministry Team Magazine: http://www.firstuusandiego.org/docs/080801%20ministry%20team%20mag.pdf 
Job Description Contribute to all aspects of ministry, including worship, religious education for children, youth and adults, pastoral care, governance, administration, social justice. Also organize and start up a new project, to be determined after starting. The particular duties, and the new project, will be based on the needs of the congregation as well as the strengths and learning needs of the intern. Of special note: Lead Minister Arvid Straube will be on sabatical for half of this intern's year (Sept 15 - Dec 1 and Jan 14 - Apr 1.) This means that our intern will need to take on more responsibility than usual, and Associate Minister Kathleen Owens will be sharing supervision duties.
