Linwood’s residency equips the individual while in the trenches of ministry. We chose to equip, invest, and develop ministry leaders through our pastoral residency. We designed this leadership development program for emerging leaders who feel called to vocational church ministry and desire ministry experience in a vibrant church.

Residents can expect to be coached as you serve amongst the staff of Linwood during your two years here. We place residents in specialized areas to help focus on their pastoral goals through our unique teams. We offer residency in Lead Pastor and Student Ministries (grades 6th–12th).

The best part: residents get the best of both worlds. Through our unique partnership with The Ransom Church, you will experience a residency training ground unlike any other program; being fully immersed in different cultures/styles of programing from both churches, developing moldable tools to fit future success in ministry, and intermixing of other Awaken residents through our tested leadership training with the collaboration of The Ransom Church and Linwood Leadership Team.
