The Ministry Residency serves students by giving them opportunity to explore and refine their ministry calling. Students are supported and encouraged to connect with mentors in local ministries who will give them experience in pastoral ministry.
Students are encouraged to connect with a local ministry at the beginning of their degree program. The Ministry Residency provides guidance by assisting students in establishing and implementing their required ministry residency. Over the course of their program, the student receives increased experience that prepares him or her to graduate into a life of ministry.
