Frequently Asked Questions

The Passion Residency is for young leaders wanting in-depth and hands-on experience in ministry while learning and growing spiritually, personally, and professionally.

What we do is full-time, but we consider what we get to do a calling. As a Resident, you will be working and serving full-time alongside the Passion team. This means you will not be able to have another form of employment or educational enrollment (apart from part-time seminary upon approval).

The Passion residency program is a place for graduating college seniors and recent college graduates to come and explore working in ministry - while most importantly growing deeper in their walk with Jesus. Our 4 main pillars are: Commit to Consecration, Build Character, Hone Craft and Grow in Community.

While each track’s Formations may vary, Formations is a weekly team time centered around spiritual formation and personal & leadership development. Formations look different each week, but they are a time for Residents to pray, learn, grow, and be invested in.

Passion Residents are responsible for finding and providing their own housing. We will connect all accepted Residents so they can work together on possible roommate options.
