The hope of this program is to build future leaders to engage in three main areas through NorthRoad Church: local and national church planting, building leaders to be placed within the structures of NorthRoad, and development of future kingdom leaders to engage in gospel movements. 

This Pastoral Residency Program is for aspiring pastors, leaders, and disciple makers. This program will work to develop skills for future kingdom leaders in the area of personal devotion, personal leadership skills, organizational and leadership skills within the context of church multiplication and reproduction. 

This Pastoral Residency Program will provide tangible missional community leadership experience, ownership of specific areas of ministry at NorthRoad Church, and specialized training from our pastoral staff to develop these leaders.
