WestGate Church is passionate about raising up the next generation of church leaders. As a Pastoral Resident, you will grow in your ability to do ministry within the context of a local church while intentionally deepening your spiritual formation and leadership skills. This 9-month commitment, August through May, will provide you with perspective on vocational ministry, specifically within your area of ministry emphasis, depending on your giftings, interests, and WestGate’s needs:

• Worship
• Kids
• Students
• College-Age
• Creative Engagement and Communication.

Because discernment is a key aspect of this program, your ministry focus is subject to change. This job description outlines the core responsibilities of a Pastoral Resident and will be supplemented by an addendum detailing your specific ministry emphasis. As a pastoral resident, you’ll support ministry events across all congregations, each designed to help us live into our mission of being and making disciples, daily formed into the image of Christ. This part-time role (Sunday - Thursday) may require occasional work on Fridays and Saturdays as well as evening hours.
