Meet our summer interns of 2023, Nathan (L) and Zechariah (R) who will be helping out our Children’s Ministry and Youth - thanks guys we’re so excited to have you! Read on to get to know them a little more!
Nathan Law
My name is Nathan Law and I am one of the two summer interns working at the church this year. I am a Grade 11 student at John G. Diefenbaker High School. One thing that I am looking to take out of this internship is a greater understanding of how working formally would look like inside of a church.
What’s something non-interesting about yourself?
When it is winter, I shovel the snow on my driveway.
Your most embarrassing moment?
My most embarrassing moment was getting caught off guard in a picture taken at one of our youth events. This picture was later uploaded to the church Instagram, prompting my friends to point out my awkward appearance (sorry Nathan!)
What’s your idea of an ideal vacation!
My ideal vacation would be going to a beach resort and living in a luxurious suite with a stunning view of the ocean, topped off with meals that would include fresh seafood as well as tropical delicacies.
Last book you read?
The most recent book that I have read is Finders Keepers by Stephen King.
What compelled you to want to be summer children/youth ministry intern?
The main reason why I wanted to be the summer interns this year was because I wanted to understand how the work environment would look like in a church. Growing up in the church, I've always seen the things that happen on Sundays such as the sermons but I have never seen the “behind the scenes” of all these things so I wanted to try it out and I felt like it would be a great environment for me to learn and to grow! I’m also passionate about children’s ministry and I feel that nurturing their spiritual journey is one of the most important ways we can lead them to a long lasting relationship with God!
Zechariah
My name is Zechariah. I am one of the Summer Interns at SCCEFC this year. Currently, I am a grade 11 student attending Lord Beaverbrook High School.
What’s something non-interesting about yourself?
When it's summer I mow the lawn.
Most embarrassing moment?
When I cut the front of my hair by myself and walked around for two months with a bald spot on the front of my hair.
What’s your idea of an ideal vacation?
Going to Singapore and getting to see Changi Airport.

What compelled you to want to be a summer children/youth ministry intern?
I chose to work as an intern so that I could gain practical knowledge and first-hand experience while developing my relationship with Christ.
