Our Formation Pathway helps emerging leaders grow in character and competency through an internship process of hands-on ministry experience, mentoring, and development.

A broad introduction to ministry life—teaching, discipleship, worship, operations, and pastoral care. Interns learn through observation, reflection, and practice.
Support: High Direction & Mentoring
Close guidance and consistent feedback help build spiritual rhythms, self-awareness, and foundational leadership skills.
Outcome: Greater clarity about next steps, growth in character, and practical ministry experience.
Focus: Commitment & Refinement
Residents step into deeper ownership within a specific ministry area—leading teams, planning, and executing projects.
Support: Coaching & Challenge
More independence, with coaching focused on leadership identity, initiative, and problem-solving.
Outcome: Demonstrated competence, maturity, and readiness for long-term ministry or next leadership steps.
