ACC RESIDENCY PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
Residency at ACC is a two year program with the aim of developing future ministry leaders through practical experience at ACC while engaging in seminary education. Our vision is to prepare and equip those who feel called to vocational ministry to send them out as weapons for the Kingdom of God. This program is designed to form students deeply in the image of Christ while growing their worldview and ability to minister in any context God calls them to. The combination of experience and rigorous academics will enable Residents to walk out the calling God has on their lives.
