Our Church Planting Residency is our primary pathway for raising up new church planters. A Church Planting Resident will be someone seriously considering the call to plant a City on a Hill church. They must be committed to the gospel and to our mission of knowing Jesus and making Jesus known. Inspired by the great commission, a Church Planting Resident will be both trained and tested over a 12-24 month program that equips them to plant a City on a Hill church.

This program includes a staffed position at one of the City on a Hill local churches, allowing the Resident to learn the culture and values of City on a Hill from the inside. While overseeing a particular portfolio at a local church, they will also engage in church planting specific training geared toward empowering them to be a Lead Pastor of a future City on a Hill church.

The hope is that our residents plant a new City on a Hill church at the conclusion of the residency. On occasion, the residency may reveal that a different leadership opportunity is better suited for them.

The Church Planting Resident will report to their local Lead Pastor while being supported by the Church Planting Pastor. They will work collaboratively with their local church staff team, and as part of the Movement staff team. The Church Planting Resident is a paid role, with full-time or part-time opportunities available for consideration.
