Residential Formation and Fieldwork
Residence is mandatory because ministry formation requires more than attendance at lectures.
Why residence is mandatory
Fellows live, learn, pray, serve and grow within a disciplined Christian community. The residential environment creates room for accountability, character formation, mentoring, peer learning and consistent spiritual practice.
What a typical week includes
Lectures, seminars and tutorials
Supervised study and academic writing support
Prayer, worship and Scripture
Mentoring and accountability circles
Leadership and stewardship clinics
Weekday-evening ministry fieldwork
Weekend ministry service
Community responsibilities and reflection
Fieldwork
Compulsory throughout the residential year
Fellows serve under approved supervisors and may participate in church ministry, preaching, discipleship, mission, evangelism, chaplaincy, Christian education, administration or community outreach. Every Fellow keeps reflective records and receives regular feedback.
