Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Residents should plan to work 20 hours a week through their Practicum Internship portion of the Residency. They will be paid for those hours. Residents should expect to spend about 10 hours a week on the academic portion of the Residency and therefore could find an additional part-time job (not to exceed 10 hours a week) to supplement their income. We strongly advise you not to apply if you have a considerable amount of student or consumer debt.

One of the primary goals of the Residency is to help prepare students for their next step in vocational ministry. Some may join a church staff, some may decide to attend seminary, and some may even decide to pursue other opportunities outside of ministry.

Each resident will have the option to opt into a host home for the duration of the program at no additional cost. Trusted and committed members of our church community will open their homes to host our residents. If a resident lives locally, they can choose to live there for the duration of the program as well. 

Residents will participate in all four of The Vox Institute Core Classes: Christian Theology, Old Testament, New Testament, & Christian Thought. They will also participate in seminars and forums on a variety of Spiritual Formation topics. Each week they will meet with the Residency Cohort Leader for ongoing personal discipleship and spiritual development. 

While the Residency is not yet an accredited program, the courses offered are at a college level. We do hope to one day have an accredited program to offer for our residents.
