Residency OCC
Vision
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.

- 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.
