Job Description
Parkside's Pastoral Residency is open to men with undergraduate or seminary degrees. Residents rotate through all ministries. There are three rotations, and each rotation entails working with approximately three pastors over four months. During those four months, residents will participate in the various ministries of the pastors they are working with. There is one primary teaching ministry within each rotation so that residents have the opportunity to teach at least once per week. In addition to rotating through all ministries, residents are given the opportunity to shadow pastors during hospital visits, funeral and wedding planning, and other routine pastoral responsibilities. Residents are expected to participate in staff meetings, staff prayer, and Sunday services. Those who sense a calling to missions will have their responsibilities tailored to included missions related ministries and opportunities.
