Ministry Resident – High School Ministry
PURPOSE
The Constance Residency Program is a learning environment designed for graduate students to gain leadership experience in vocational ministry within a local church. The resident will be given day-to-day responsibilities within the high school ministry department, but will also experience other areas of church leadership, including weekly staff meetings, monthly ministry rhythms, and annual planning cycles. They will have specific regular responsibilities that are chosen in part due of the giftedness of the resident and also based on the needs of the ministry. The resident will experience other positions in the church in addition to high school ministry.
