Earn your degree while in the residency.

Be a part of a growing and thriving church in the middle of Rocky Mount, NC.

Experience unique opportunities to lead and learn during your time in the residency.

We help set you up for a future in ministry - equipping you for whatever lies ahead.

With Redeemer helping fund and assisting you fundraise your residency, you will have an opportunity to focus on ministry. 

You will get to walk through the residency with others, creating life-long relationships

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
