RESIDENCY
We exist to worship Jesus, make disciples, and give ourselves away. We believe in the sacrificial pursuit of sending long-term missionaries and planting other churches. To move this aspect of our vision forward, we are developing both a Church Planting and Pastoral Residency to train and equip people from all backgrounds to plant and/or lead churches.
Our Residency is a laboratory for leaders to explore, consider and cultivate their unique calling. Our desire is to intentionally train and multiply cross-cultural pastors and planters. Our dream is plant 5 new churches in our first 10 years of life.
