RIVER CHURCH RESIDENCY PROGRAM
At River Church, we believe the local church is God's primary plan for reaching the world with the gospel. The River Church Residency Program exists to raise up faithful, humble, and mission-minded leaders who want to grow in real, hands-on ministry.
Residents serve alongside our team, invest in the life of the church, and gain practical ministry experience in a growing, gospel-centered church in Northern Colorado. Whether your calling is pastoral ministry, worship, student ministry, kids ministry, outreach, or church planting, this residency is designed to help you grow in character, competency, and conviction. You won't simply observe ministry, you'll step into it.
Through intentional mentorship, leadership development, and real responsibility, we desire to help you clarify your calling, sharpen your gifts, and deepen your love for Christ and His Church. If you are hungry to grow, eager to serve, and serious about following Jesus where He leads, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider taking your next step with us.
