The Treasuring Christ Together (TCT) Church Planting Residency is a one-year church planter training program. It has been designed for called and qualified church planters to complete prior to full-time church planting work. The TCT Residency aims to equip the resident for church planting by instilling in him the biblical convictions of Bethlehem's Mission and Elder Affirmation of Faith, and providing opportunities to observe how those convictions are lived out in the manifold life of the local church. The program is made up of several components which are: supervised ministry, The Bethlehem Institute (TBI) seminars, a mentoring relationship, and a year-end assessment and evaluation.
Applicants are required to submit a completed application with personal and pastoral references by March 1st. Preference will be given to applicants with pastoral ministry experience and to those who have completed a Master of Divinity or similar theological degree program.
To apply for the TCT Church Planter Residency Program, download an application at www.hopeingod.org, or email TCT@hopeingod.org to request an application. Completed applications and/or questions should be directed to the church planting department at the church.
