 CROSSROADS Residency PROGRAM

Crossroads Residency is a two-year program beginning in August of each year. Residents become a part of the Crossroads staff where they will become fully integrated into the culture and experience the dynamics of being a ministry leader.

Through weekly group classes, one-on-one mentorship, focused ministry experiences, consistent leadership opportunities and a global mission trip, residents will be immersed in a disciple-making culture and develop a deeper understanding of the priorities and mission of a disciple-making leader.
