Grace Church Residents

"It was a really good experience. I learned so much, and grew so much. After this year I can safely say that I'm on a whole new level spiritually than I ever have been before. This role has forced me outside of my comfort zone, which has contributed to me relying heavily on the Lord and growing closer to Him."

2022 Connections Resident

"My time as a Resident at Grace Church was amazing! Having never worked in ministry before, the Residency was so impactful in helping me on this new journey. I learned so much about myself and my faith, what working in ministry is like and how to become a better leader. I am forever grateful that God led me to Grace and the Residency!"

"The residency has given me life-long comrades in ministry which I couldn't be more thankful for. God used the program to stretch me, grow me, show off his faithfulness, and give me a perfect "next step" in my ministry career"

"I feel very satisfied with my overall experience with my residency! I feel like I had plenty of opportunities to grow over the past year and also feel like I was able to leave an impact within my role!"
