“Developing the next generation of ministry leaders through hand-ons experience and personal development”

The residency is a 2-4 year program designed for emerging leaders who feel called to vocational church ministry. We want to help develop the future pastors, teachers, and ministry directors by giving them a place to grow and learn through hands-on ministry experience and intentional personal development. We believe that these experiences will develop future leaders for a lifetime of ministry significance.

Residents apply to serve in a specific ministry of the church; college, youth, worship, creative, children’s, executive, etc. As a resident, you will receive hands-on experience and training in this specific ministry area, as well as being mentored by a Doxology staff member that leads your area. You will also pursue personal ministry relationships within the church body and have the opportunity to experience church-wide ministry opportunities such as baptisms, hospital visits, counseling, performing weddings, and developing teaching skills.
