The Residency Builder is a workshop designed to help pastors and church leaders build an intentional process for training qualified leaders to be church planters. It's a collaborative experience to help leaders discover and develop their unique plan for equipping potential planters. The participants will leave the Residency Builder with a framework and the beginning steps to implement a residency in their church. It is highly recommended that you bring a team or at least another staff/leader with you.
