Southland Residency

About


Southland is a multi-site church of people in Central Kentucky who believe the best way to live life is with Jesus, in community, and on mission. Our Residency Program is discipleship based and individually designed to provide hands-on training in your chosen ministry area.

Our Residency is a year-long, full-time program designed as a post-graduate experience for young adults (21-30) who are called to local church ministry.

Our Unique Residency Format

Cohort term

Beginning the 1st week of June, we spend the summer growing together as a group. This includes learning how Southland carries out the mission to reach lost and broken people, book discussions, field trips to local ministry partners, a domestic mission trip, and a Residency retreat.

Fieldwork Term

In mid-August, residents spread out to their desired areas of ministry. Each resident is paired with a Field Supervisor who coaches them on how to serve in their context. This includes opportunities to shadow, work alongside, and completely own areas of the ministry. During the Fieldwork Term, our Residency meets one afternoon a week to continue cohort training.
