The Community: The Lake Country region of Wisconsin (west of Milwaukee) is one of Wisconsin’s best kept secrets.  Those who live there relish the summer because, as its name suggest; it’s lake country.  Abundant waterfront property, lakeside restaurants, boating activities, and endless summer days characterize this southeastern corner of the Midwestern state.  The Lake Country region is an affluent yet friendly community west of the big city.  But although it offers some of the best outdoor recreational opportunities in the state, that’s not the only thing it’s known for. It’s also a region highly close knit, with a strong emphasis on family values and education.  The schools in the Lake Country region are some of the best in the Milwaukee area, even the entire state.  Moving to the area bring charming houses on tree lined streets and idyllic views from the backyard into focus.  Lake Country is an affluent and sophisticated neighborhood, but one that tis also incredibly warm and welcoming as visitors discover what those who live there love so much about it.  The Campus: At Elmbrook Lake Country, we are a community of people who are committed to helping every person who walks through our doors know they are known and loved.  A hallmark of this campus is the connection that people feel with one another and the relational warmth that is experienced both after services and ministry throughout the week. Over the past year, the campus has grown under the leadership of the new campus pastor, and many new young families are calling the Lake Country Campus home. Along with an excellent growing staff, the campus benefits from a high level of volunteerism that allows ministry to flourish.  Like the community in which it is located, the campus has a “come as you are” feel with most members and attendees dressing rather casually.

Christian Encounter Ranch (CER) offers internships for committed Christians age 21 and older who love the Lord and are eager to serve others.  (United States citizenship is required.) Ministering to these hurting young people is both demanding and rewarding.  Students experience rapid growth, and interns develop additional spiritual maturity and endurance.  As servant-leaders, interns model the Christian life as they live and work alongside the students.  A staff of committed Christian professionals who have had many years of residential ministry experience provide guidance for the intern team. New interns receive one week of orientation, verbal and written instruction, and helpful direction and advice from senior interns.  Internships range from 90 days to 2 years. Each intern disciples one to three students and teaches group Bible studies on a rotation basis.  Interns are hard-working supervisors of the students and perform daily assignments that include practical activities--cooking, cleaning, and various maintenance tasks on our 86-acre campus (affectionately called “the Ranch”).  ​​ Interns also oversee a dorm room with two or three students.  Many teachable moments arise during the daily activities as well as during recreation times (e.g. boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, ball games, “hanging out,” etc.).  There are also various opportunities to minister in other ways according to interest and gifting. ​Depending on length of stay, interns may accompany the students on a wilderness trip (under staff guidance) in the high country of the Sierras: a two-week late summer backpack trip which includes rock climbing and rappelling, and/or a 4-day winter snow trip. These experiences foster teamwork and character development, and nearly everyone who goes on a trip returns having heard from the Lord in a deep way.   To apply, please go to:  https://www.christianencounter.org/request-info.html
