WestGate's Pastoral Residency Program is a 9-month immersive apprenticeship that integrates hands-on ministry with intentional spiritual formation and leadership development. Just as medical students hone their craft in a clinical residency, pastors benefit from experiential training under skilled leaders. Residents serve in one of five key ministry contexts: Worship, Kids, Next Gen, Creative Engagement, and Community & Care.

 

We are seeking candidates who are:

• Prayerfully discerning their calling to full-time ministry

• Eager to grow in their leadership skills

• Committed to being spiritually formed in Christlikeness

 

The residency offers robust support, including housing and competitive compensation ($2,500/month), significant experiential learning, and deep mentoring relationships to prepare residents for a lifetime of Christian service.

More information is available on our website (westgatechurch.org/pastoral-residency-program), including program dates, application details, and a video from our Lead Pastor, Jay Kim.
