Update on the Pastoral Internship Program
The new GCI Pastoral Internship program in the US is under way with the hiring of Skyeler Lewkowicz. Skyeler is working alongside Tim Sitterley, pastor of the GCI congregations in Eugene and Salem, OR.
Skyeler has a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Northwest Christian University and plans to begin graduate studies. He has a short history with GCI that began two years ago when he met Pastor Tim Sitterly through an internship for college credit. I met Skyeler on a recent visit to the Northwest. He says he greatly enjoys fellowship with GCI folks and fully embraces GCI’s theology and doctrine.
My wife Susan and I joined Pastor Tim, Skyeler and the rest of the Living Hope Church in Salem, OR for Easter Sunday. I had the privilege of bringing Tim, his wife Linda, Skyeler and his wife Tracy forward in the service to pray for them, asking for God’s guidance and blessing for the internship. Skyeler and his wife have a wide range of experience in Christian ministry, and their current desire is to work with a gathering of young adults within the context of the existing GCI congregation.
| GCI is looking for men and women who are being called of God to pastor a GCI church in the U.S.—either an established congregation, or a new church plant. If you would like to explore the possibilities, including participation in the Pastoral Internship Program, please email Greg.Williams@gci.org. |
Skyler heard God’s call on his life, and has pursued education and experiences in response to that call. We are excited for he and Tracy, and we ask for your prayers on their behalf as they move deeper into ministry with Jesus within GCI.
