Residency at ACC

training the next wave of leaders of the Church.

What is Residency at ACC?

Residency at ACC is a two year track to train those who are called to vocational ministry through seminary education and tangible ministry experience. Our vision is to cultivate future Church leaders for the purpose of sending them out as weapons for the Kingdom of God. Residency is designed for radical formation into the image of Christ while developing a deep biblical and theological framework, a redemptive worldview, and leadership capabilities. The combination of experience and rigorous academics will empower residents to build the Church in pursuit of the renewal of all things.
