The Way Church Residency exists to equip and mobilize future church planters and international missionaries.
WHY A RESIDENCY?
The Church is God’s plan for reaching the world. Here in the RVA area and around the world, godly and gifted men are needed to lead and serve within the local church in order to see lives changed by the gospel. The Way Church Residency exists to equip and mobilize future church planters and international missionaries.
WHAT IS A RESIDENCY?
The Way Church Residency is a 1-2 year program in which each resident will be a full-time member of The Way Church Staff Team. Assigned areas of ministry will depend on each resident's giftings, passions, and areas of need within The Way Church. For those who are actively taking seminary courses, we have built into each resident's schedule time to complete seminary studies and assignments along with seminary related discussion with Way Church Pastors. Additionally, The Way Church leadership will assist each resident in their fundraising efforts with an aim to gain financial support that will sustain them throughout the duration of the Residency. This Residency offers two residency tracks to choose from which include:
CHURCH PLANTING TRACK
