Nathan Schmidt - Current Resident
Before finding out about this residency, I struggled to find ministry leaders that intentionally wanted to develop leaders. But now, I am meeting people who not only help me identify my leadership strengths and weaknesses but that also coach and develop me to grow. The “learn by doing” training approach that this residency uses is undoubtedly teaching me skills that are invaluable to leading healthy churches. If you want to be equipped to do ministry well and are seeking closer relationships with kingdom minded leaders then this residency is definitely for you.
