Residency at Impact
Impact Christian Church is a casual and contemporary community of real people with everyday struggles, attempting to become more like Jesus. Our main desire is to help move people into an authentic relationship with Jesus by helping people experience the love of God in a real and personal way (Pursue God), sharing the hope of Jesus by serving people and our community with compassion (Share Hope), and building friendships in groups that find answers together to life’s challenges (Build Community). We are very excited about our future. We are a growing church at an exciting time with our community center approach with The Landing.
Program Overview
Why Residency?
Residency is designed with recent graduates looking for ministry experience in mind. The idea behind a residence is to bridge the gap between traditional classroom learning and practical vocational ministry. As a resident you will grow spiritually, emotionally, and in your ministry.
WHAT DOES RESIDENCY LOOK LIKE?
Year 1 – Learning and growing into ministry. The first year is all about learning what ministry is about and growing into what God has called you to do. You will be working alongside other staff and take on regular tasks as you grow and learn. The first year will be focusing on experiences and being invested into.
Year 2 – Leading and launching into the next phase. The second year will be about taking on significant responsibility with regular ongoing ministry as well as events. You will start to find a rhythm in ministry and know more about who you are as a leader and how to tap into that as you take on greater parts of ministry. You will understand what it takes to lead and run a ministry and find ways to equip leaders around you. The second year will be focusing on investing into others and leading in greater roles.
