Practical Ministry Experience

Our Christian residency program provides hands-on ministry experience with the resident working within three ministry tracks during their residency. Residents actively lead projects within their chosen area, managing daily operations, building and leading teams, and navigating real-world ministry challenges. You'll be a valued team member, entrusted with significant responsibility and ownership. This immersive experience will equip you with firsthand knowledge of investing in others and impacting our community.

Ministry Tracks

Before your residency begins, we'll develop a personalized plan designed to maximize your growth. This plan will incorporate three distinct functional disciplines: your primary ministry track, a complementary track to broaden your skills, and an unrelated track to provide diverse exposure. Our goal is to immerse you in a variety of ministry environments, fostering well-rounded development.   Ministry tracks include:
Children’s Ministry
Student Ministry
Music & Worship Arts
Production (i.e. tech, audio, video)
Campus Ministry
Missions
Spiritual Development
Engagement
Guest Services
Communications
Non-profit ministry
Videography
Accounting
IT
Business Operations
Facility Management

Residency Roundtables

Over the course of the 10 months, we will regularly gather Residents together for times of processing, discussion, celebration, prayer, and conversation in a roundtable style experience. We want to create space where thoughts can be shared, questions can be asked, and feedback can be given.

Mentoring

Crossing staff mentors will be assigned to each resident for personal counsel, guiding self-awareness and to maximize their residency experience.  In addition, each resident will have the opportunity to report into three different staff members as they progress through their ministry tracks.

The Experience

This residency offers full-time (24-30 hours/week) ministry experience with The Crossing staff, a weekly stipend, and valuable opportunities to participate in mission trips and attend premier leadership conferences.

Leadership Development

Our residency program is designed to cultivate the next generation of impactful kingdom leaders, empowering them to maximize their unique gifts and calling. To achieve this, residents:
  • Participate as a group in weekly leadership development opportunities or experiences.
  • Have an opportunity to meet with and hear from various functional leaders and ministry partners.
  • Will be exposed to the operation of most of the functional and ministry departments within the church
