Preaching Residency (One Year)

Redeeming Life Church is offering a one-year Preaching Residency to the right candidate. Our Preaching Resident should be a Christian and have or be considering a call to preaching ministry. The Resident will be given opportunities to work with our Lead Pastor and our Pastor Emeritus to develop preaching and teaching skills, help prepare sermons, evaluate sermons, and occasionally preach (depending on the Resident). In addition, we will give the Resident opportunities and resources to learn more about preaching and teaching ministry in a "boots-on-the-ground" learning environment. 

While this is an unpaid residency, the right candidate will be given many opportunities to grow, gain preaching and teaching experience, and build a resume. We will provide books and other resources. Every week, the Resident will receive two hours of training, coaching, and discipleship with Dr. Bryan Catherman (our Lead Pastor). In addition, the Resident will be training and working with the other preachers on the preaching rotation. As we hope the Resident may remain in Utah with Redeeming Life, another church, or join a church plant, we will also introduce the Resident to other pastors and church planters in the area. If necessary, we are very willing to modify this residency to meet seminary field training education and be eligible for seminary or Bible college credit. This residency might be perfect for online students! 

We expect the Resident to be present at our 11:00 AM Sunday morning worship service, our 6:30 PM Sunday evening worship service, and put in the necessary work to rightly handle the Word of God. While the Resident is not required to become a member, it is highly encouraged, and we expect that the Preaching Resident will be plugged in with Redeeming Life Church. He must completely agree with our statement of beliefs. Depending on the Resident, there may be opportunities to preach at other churches in need.  

Redeeming Life Church is the merge of a 60-year-old church and a 6-year-old church plant. We believe in team ministry, and four ordained Pastors make up our preaching team.  

We highly recommend that interested candidates review our website and watch at least four live-streamed services. We want to be sure we are a good fit for the Resident as much as the Resident be a good fit for us. 

Interested candidates should send a resume and cover letter and any teaching/preaching samples to Info@RedeemingLifeUtah.org.
