Live Out Your Calling
Feeling called to ministry but not sure what your next steps are? The NMC Residency is a two-year program to give you hands-on experience, leadership training, and life coaching to equip you for vocational ministry.
Residents join our team in the months of May, August, and January each year. As part of the NMC Staff, you'll get to experience day-to-day ministry of the church and take ownership of responsibilities in your given department.

Work and serve in an NMC ministry that meets your passions and skills: KidMin, Student Ministries, Adult Ministries, or Worship Ministry.
As a resident, you'll get intentional life coaching to grow as a disciple of Jesus and a leader of His Church. You'll meet regularly with your direct supervisor, the Leadership Development Pastor, and the other residents to receive consistent coaching and process your experiences.

In residency, you'll get...
Hands-On Experience
Alongside the NMC Staff in your ministry, you'll plan weekly Sunday and Wednesday programming, coordinate special events, teach biblical lessons, and build relationships within the congregation. You'll get a chance to build your resume with experiences to prepare you for vocational ministry.
Leadership Training
The resident team meets once a month to develop the heart, mind, and actions of leadership. Each 90-minute training includes lessons from NMC Staff and group discussion. Residents get to reflect on their own development and make goals for their personal growth from month to month.
Life Coaching
Vocational ministry has unique demands, and we want residents to lead from the overflow of their relationship with God. To focus on living in health and wholeness, you'll get one-on-one coaching sessions with your direct supervisor and the Leadership Development Pastor. More than just the to-dos of ministry, these sessions get to the heart of who you are, how you're doing, and your goals for growth.
Lasting Community
Leading alongside others is important to thrive in ministry. With the other residents, you'll get to build friendships, process ministry behind-the-scenes, and discover your next steps with people in your stage of life. It's also no secret our resident team has a ton of fun together from game nights, group dinners, coffee shop visits, and grabbing ice cream!
