Church Planting Residency

The Redemption Hill Church Planting Residency is a church planter training program. It is designed for called and qualified church planters to complete prior to full-time church planting work. The Church Planting Residency aims to equip the resident by instilling in him the theological and ecclesiological foundation needed to plant and lead a local church, and by providing opportunities to observe how these foundations are lived out in the life of Redemption Hill Church. The Church Planting Residency includes supervised ministry experience, a mentoring relationship, personalized training and assignments, and assessments at the beginning, 6-month, and year-end that will serve to refine the resident’s understanding of his calling and future direction.
