"The Residency program has been so beneficial to me and my spiritual growth. I felt like God had called me into ministry, even at this late period in my life, and I wanted to honor that and be faithful to the calling. This residency program allowed me to explore and dig deeper into what working in ministry looks like. I was able to get invaluable experience and knowledge that I would not have gained otherwise. Applying to this residency program was exactly what I needed and was looking for and has helped me to gain confidence in this calling."
