FAQs

What is unique about the Redeemer Residency?

The development experience is a unique combination of theological study and practical ministry application.

Your time in the residency will equip you to minister to others and will help you be prepared for future job opportunities.

To grow in leadership, we believe you need the opportunity to lead, so we want to connect you to a team of seasoned ministry leaders who will guide you as you begin to engage in practical ministry.

How will the residency set me up for success in life and ministry?

Once you complete the residency, you will have two years of practical work experience from Redeemer Church, your Master of Arts in Christian Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and skills to lead in various environments.

Within the residency, we will identify your professional skillset and create a personalized plan to prepare you for the future.

Who is the ideal candidate for the Residency?

The ideal candidate is a follower of Christ who has a calling on their life for full-time vocational ministry.

They are eager to get hands-on experience in ministry, and they desire to grow in their love for God and people by diving into further theological study.

How are residencies funded?

The Residency at Redeemer is partly support-raised and partly funded. Each resident will be responsible for raising part of their own salaries for the two-year program. Fundraising will be coached and facilitated by one of our ministry partners.

What kind of degree will be offered?

By the time the residency is over, you will have completed a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry from SEBTS.

As a cohort, you will work with your peers in completing the program.

Your master’s degree will equip you for ministry and help you stand out as you apply for future opportunities.

Will housing be provided?

You will be responsible for your own housing, and Redeemer Church does not cover any moving costs. If, however, you need helping finding a place, we may be able to make some suggestions.

What does the application process look like and when would I begin?

Following your online application, we will set up an initial call to see if the residency may be a good fit for you.

From there we will advise upon what the best next step for you. 

Will I have a job with Redeemer Church once my residency is over?

Not everyone will have a position at Redeemer Church upon completion of their residency. However, we are dedicated to owning the success of each of our residents, and we work to place residents in ministry roles within our network and denominational connections.
