The vision of the Redemption Hill Church Residency
The Redemption Hill Church Leadership Residency is designed to help aspiring leaders identify and clarify their call to “make disciples” and intentionally prepares both leaders and lay servants for new missional opportunities, within Redemption Hill Church and beyond. If you sense God’s call to move into a deeper commitment to discipling others and a desire to discover and hone your leadership skills, consider how joining Redemption Hill Church's Leadership Journey might be the first step onto the path that leads you to that place of service.
Content and Rhythms
Redemption Hill Church’s Leadership Journey is a multi-tiered process of Leadership Development. Each phase of development will include challenging biblical content that encourages holistic training, integrating a “head, heart, and hands” application of learning. Course Moderators will lead weekly online and/or in-person training. Each level of training will include assignments that stretch participants by building their Biblical knowledge as well as inspiring and motivating them to move into a deeper relationship with God and people.
Path and Process
Each level of Residency training will explore content through materials that are contextualized to the Applicant’s calling and progress:
Trail #1 is The Base Camp Trail: a 10-week Journey and the first development series in the RHC Leadership Journey. It’s suitable for all interested participants.
Trail #2 is The 2-2-2 Ascent Trail: this is a 22-week commitment for those desiring a deeper dive into disciple-making principles.
Trail #3 is The Section 3-1 Trail: during this 22-week development series, participants will continue building their disciple-making knowledge and skills as well as investigating principles of developing a disciple-making culture in a ministry setting.
Trail #4 is The Go-2819 Trail: specifically designed for those feeling called into full-time ministry leadership.
