About Our Ministry Residency

Every resident is immersed in ministry opportunities that align with their personal passion. This is a 12 month, 29 hour-per-week program which combines focused training, hands-on experience, and intentional mentorship to help participants grow in their leadership ability and clarify their calling. It is our desire to see competent and compassionate leaders be developed for the sake of carrying out God's mission.

Head

Our residents will attend monthly training sessions that will cover several meaningful and practical ministry and spiritual growth topics. 

Heart

The development of a ministry leader does not stop at the practical experiences of ministry. Character is one of the most important pieces. 

Hands

Residents will be placed in live ministry settings to take all the Head and Heart knowledge and put it into daily practice.

"The residency program has allowed me the opportunity to learn, grow, make small mistakes, and be taught how to fix them and grow from them. I have learned how to let go of fears and be able to walk into the next chapter of life, wherever God places me, with more confidence, excitement, and gratitude."

"The opportunity to learn under the leadership at Warren Church has been invaluable. This experience has challenged me to be more organized, proactive, and relational. Above all else, this ministry has challenged me to grow deeper in my knowledge of the Bible and my relationship with Jesus Christ."

"I've enjoyed the opportunity to gain perspective on staying healthy outside of vocational ministry and continue to become more like Jesus, which should be the heart of anyone who pursues the call of ministry."
