Ministry Residency
2025/2026

What is the Ministry Resident Program?

Our Ministry Residency Program differs from a ministry internship in that it seeks to give a broad, whole-church overview of ministry and engagement. Over the 50-week program, residents will gain church experience and Biblical knowledge necessary for future ministry leadership. In particular, residents will gain real and practical ministry experience by working alongside a ministry leader in a specific ministry area. This ministry leader will invest in them personally through teaching them healthy habits and disciplines. Professionally, they will help residents learn ministry leadership through hands-on experiences. Residents will grow spiritually as they experience Biblical relationship with their ministry lead or another Evergreen staff member.

What Will Our Residents Be Doing?

The goal of this residency is to equip and prepare individuals for leadership roles within the local church. This is achieved by offering a diverse range of experiential learning opportunities in practical ministry settings, imparting Biblical knowledge in classroom environments, and fostering personal, professional, and spiritual growth through discipleship relationships.

Another way residents will grow is through the classroom experience on Mondays. Courses the residents will experience include:
  • Church History Survey
  • Hermeneutics
  • Formation Through Spiritual Disciplines
  • Systematic Theology
  • Fundamentals of Teaching
  • Biblical Leadership Competencies
  • Biblical Counseling 
  • And More!

How Can You Help?

The most important thing that our team of Residents need is prayer. You can support every one of them by praying over their hearts and minds as they go through the program this year. Another way that you can support the ministry is financially.

Sponsor Residency Lunch

Every Monday our Residents will be spending their full 8 hour work day in the classroom. We would love to be able to provide them a hot lunch on these days from their church family who loves them. If you or your life group would like to sponsor a $150 lunch for our Residents one Monday this coming year, click below for more information.
