Residency

Our mission is to produce ministry leaders through an intensive one-year residency program that focuses on developing ministry skills, knowledge, character, and passion.

Real Life Ministry Experience

Each resident has real ministry responsibilities. This is not a "shadowing" program where the participants observe our staff at work, nor is it an "assistantship" where the participants do the menial tasks of the ministry. Residents carry out essential ministry responsibilities as a part of the ongoing ministry at Fellowship.
Residents will take classes that equip them for life and ministry. Topics change quarterly and include classes such as Survey of Theology, Biblical Finances, Life’s Healing Choices, and Practical Ministry.
Every resident will be paired with a mentor suited to their walk-of-life and ministry. Mentors will meet with their residents regularly, and pursue spiritual health together.
Christ-centered community and relationships are essential parts of spiritual maturity and ministry at Fellowship. Residents will be placed into a small group of peers where they can belong, grow, and serve.
The growth of your personal relationship with Jesus is important to us! Each resident is expected to pursue an intimate relationship with the Lord through personal time with God.

How It Works

The Residency is a program of participation and immersion in ministry and personal spiritual development within the Fellowship staff. Each resident lives in Fellowship housing rent/utility free and also receives a stipend for health insurance, cell phone and other expenses. Fellowship expects residents to allot 25 hours weekly for Fellowship ministry, which includes personal development (classes, mentoring, community group, etc.). This leaves time for each resident to work a part time job to provide funds for personal expenses such as gas, groceries, and car insurance. The Residency neither costs, nor pays its participants. It should be a debt-free year that adds value to Fellowship’s ministry and the resident’s personal life.
