Using Residencies to Train the Next Generation of Ministry Leaders with Young Song of Southwest Church

It's no secret that the church at large faces a major shortage of qualified pastors and ministry leaders. This affects all areas from the senior/lead role, student and kids ministry, and even prospective church planters. Thankfully, some churches are responding to this trend by creating in-house residency opportunities. One of those is Southwest Church in Indian Wells, CA. In this episode, Residency Director Young Song shares the vision and details of how they plan to train the next generation of pastors by offering paid positions along with formal seminary education. If you or someone you know are interested in this opportunity, or if you want to create your own residency program, check out their website or reach out to Young directly at residency@southwestchurch.com.
