Fixed Term Program

The Central Residency is a one-year, church-based, whole-life discipleship and formation program designed to prepare and propel the next generation of Christian leaders into their future. Residents will participate in two experiences.

1. A Central Leadership Experience, where they will receive seminary training, professional development, spiritual formation, and global engagement.
2. The Central Ministry Experience, where Residents will discover their gifts, receive hands-on experience, and learn from experienced leaders in the church.

Further, each resident will be assigned to one of four tracks and, within that track, assigned to a particular ministry and ministry lead. Throughout the year, Residents will serve within their particular ministry, and they will also receive tailored coaching and personalized counsel from their ministry lead.
