RESIDENCY & INTERNSHIPS

RESIDENCY

Christ Community is in the process of  developing a full-time residency training program designed to provide hands-on ministry experience, personalized mentoring, leadership and discipleship training, while emphasizing healthy ministry habits to sustain you for a lifetime in ministry. In addition to all of that, we are working with local universities in the hopes of providing residents the option to earn their Master’s Degree as a part of their leadership development. Areas of ministry for residency include:

  • Students
  • Children
  • Discipleship
  • Worship
  • Creative Arts
  • Communications and Marketing

While the program is in development, we would still love to support you in your calling and career in ministry. If interested in learning more about our residency program, please contact Eric Ferris at eferris@ccclife.org.
