Biblical and theological education in partnership with Grimké College
Pursue Biblical and theological studies with Grimké College in a hybrid, regional cohort in New England while getting on the ground experience of church planting in the inner city and ministry preparation evaluation.
Church Planting Residencies
Training and preparation for inner city church planting with NEU Church Planting
Move to New England and prepare to plant a church through advanced Biblical, theological, and cross-cultural training with NEU while immersing yourself in your target neighborhoods.
We offer three tracks:
- Planting Pastor Residency
- Women’s Discipler Residency
- Men’s Discipler Residency
How to choose your program
Each program is designed to be completed separately or in sequence. Where to start depends on the questions you are facing as you consider your calling to ministry.
Exploring if you are called to ministry?
Our One-Year Internship is a way to get help answering that question.
Wondering if you educated for ministry?
The Academic Cohort allows you to strengthen you grasp of the Bible and theology in order to be able to serve others via the Word.
Have you led or planted a church before and want to be more prepared? Or know you are called to planting, but don't feel ready?
Our residencies are designed to prepare and assess you before you plant a church—so that you plant a church that lasts.
