2025 Pinelake Ministry Residency

We believe God is raising an army of new leaders to lead His church both today and in the years to come. If you know God has called you to be one of these dynamic leaders who will lead the way for your generation, it's time for us to hear from you!

Pinelake's Ministry Residency is a full-time, paid training program designed to equip, train, and mobilize young leaders into vital ministry areas like Children, Student, College, Missions, and Worship Ministry in one-year cycles (with a new class beginning May 2025). But, our training program is not your typical internship or residency. You're trained with excellence, led by seasoned ministry professionals, and launched forward into full-time ministry roles both within Pinelake and other vibrant churches throughout our nation and world.

We'll connect quickly if you are:

• Already leading the way in your current ministry context;
• Passionate about seeing God do the miraculous in the lives of people;
• A team-player who is always ready to learn;
• An influencer of people regardless of your context; and,
• Motivated and passionate about an opportunity to be developed as a leader in ministry.

You'll thrive with us if you:

• Love going the extra mile to lead with excellence;
• Serve with passion and purpose;
• Possess an unquenchable drive to share the hope of Christ;
• Believe true leadership starts with service; and,
• Audaciously believe that Jesus is doing something new and fresh in your generation through the local church.

All successful candidates are expected to:

• Possess a mature, growing faith as a disciple of Christ;
• Articulate how a ministry training program would aid you in honoring God's heart for your future;
