“The residency provided me with an opportunity to have my subjective sense of calling refined by a trusted set of objective eyes. The call into ministry typically happens as we serve, and this opportunity provided a place where dependable pastors and ministry leaders could offer wisdom for both life and ministry.”
-Matt Ross, Resident class of 2017-2018
