Are you a college student or recent graduate with a passion for ministry? The StoneWater Residency is for young leaders like you who want to grow in ministry, both inside and outside the church. Just like doctors in residency learn by doing, you’ll work alongside experienced leaders, learning hands-on while also receiving intentional teaching.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
As a StoneWater Resident, you’ll dive into a ministry focus area of your choice, investing 30 hours each week. Of those, 24-26 hours will be spent hands-on in your focus area, while 4-6 hours will be dedicated to personal and spiritual growth through classes, reading, and talks from current staff and guest speakers. You’ll also check in every three months to track your progress, and at the nine-month mark, we’ll decide if you’ll continue for another year or wrap up your residency. We’re here to support your future by helping you find ministry opportunities when your residency ends.
Ready to grow, serve, and make a lasting impact? Join us and take the next step toward becoming a leader in tomorrow’s church.
