Residency OCC

At One Community Church, we want to see our ministry and kingdom efforts extend beyond our present reach and continue for generations. We are committed to multiplication and believe Residency OCC is an essential pipeline for the growth of OCC's missional network while providing a unique opportunity for residents to receive training from experienced practitioners in church planting, urban ministry, and leadership. We have designed Residency OCC for aspiring leaders who sense a call to church planting, ministry in an urban environment, and leadership in a missional framework. 

• Training: Internal training with OCC and the North American Mission Board along with opportunities for training with Forge America
• Time: Part-time
• Bi-Vocational: Residents are expected to secure bi-vocational work in the city or pursue further education with a master's or doctoral degree. 
• Funding: Self-raised support with an opportunity for a small stipend 
• Location: Residents will live within NYC, in a targeted neighborhood. 
• Capacity: Residency OCC is accepting 3-5 residents beginning summer 2021.
• Commitment: 1-3 years, depending on the resident 

Through Residency OCC, participants will develop core competencies needed in an urban context to live on mission, make disciples who are making disciples, and lead a missional team connected to the OCC network. 

Applications can be submitted between January 1st - March 31st and those admitted into the program will know by the end of April.
