ABOUT THE PEAK CITY RESIDENCY

Forming the next generation of ministry leaders.

The Peak City Residency is a 9-month leadership development experience that equips young adults for ministry through spiritual formation, biblical training, and hands-on leadership in the local church.

Residents serve side-by-side with Peak City staff, receive personal mentoring, and grow through practical teaching and ministry experience. Whether you feel called to church leadership, missions, or simply want to grow as a follower of Jesus, the residency helps you clarify your calling and build the character to sustain it.
