Ministry Resident

The River Valley Residency is a 1 to 2 year program for young adults who are called to vocational ministry. We combine theological education with hands-on ministry experience in a thriving multi-site (4 campuses) church, located in the beautiful Rogue Valley in southwest Oregon. Our residency gives you a working insight into church life, while allowing you to drill down in a specific area such as Adult Pastoral Ministry, Youth Ministry, Kids Ministry, Worship Ministry, Communications and more. Candidates should be able to articulate a specific call into vocational ministry. At the end of the program, residents will be experienced and hireable as staff in a church or ministry setting.

The program begins every August, but applications are always accepted. Residency invitations are extended in the spring preceding the beginning of residency.
