Bivocational Residency

Sensing a Call
Not a Career Change

Equipping leaders to serve the local church while remaining faithful in their professional calling.

Bivocational Residency

What Is the Bivocational Residency?

There have always been pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders who've worked a job and served a congregation, not because they couldn't do it any other way, but because God called them to both.

If you're sensing that kind of calling, you're not alone. And you're not behind. The Bivocational Residency exists to help you develop the skills, training, and ministry experience to serve faithfully in both arenas, without having to choose between them.

Is This Right for You?

  • • You sense a genuine call to pastoral ministry, church planting, or ministry leadership
  • • You don't sense a call to leave your current career
  • • You're ready to invest in your ministry formation alongside your professional life
  • • You want the accountability, coaching, and community of a structured program

TWO
FOCUS
AREAS
of the Residency

Two Focus Areas

Training, Coaching, and Mentoring

You'll receive personalized coaching and mentoring designed to develop your ministry competencies in the context of your current life and calling. This isn't a one-size-fits-all program. It's built around you, where you are, and what God is calling you to do.

Placement in a Ministry Context

We'll help connect you with a ministry context where you can begin practicing and growing in your calling, right alongside your career. The goal is real ministry experience in a real congregation, not just classroom learning.

Ready to Take a Next Step?

If you're sensing a call and want to talk it through, reach out to one of our team members. There's no pressure and no commitment. We just want to hear where you are and help you think through what might be next.
