- Mission & Beliefs
Thrive Ministry Leadership Residency
Thrive Residency is an accredited, integrative, 10-month Christian ministry training program for college graduates who sense that God is calling them into pastoral or non-profit leadership.
Our Mission
To provide aspiring pastors and non-profit leaders with graduate-level education, mentoring and ministry employment in an intensive, short-term, urban residency environment that deepens their personal, spiritual, vocational and leadership development, and equips them to discern and respond to God’s will for their life and ministry.
Statement of Faith
TR recognizes the importance of having a good measure of doctrinal unity among those we partner with and serve.
An early 17th century theologian once wrote, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity." With this in mind, TR affirms the following core beliefs...
"God is a Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory. The Bible is the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God. Sin has corrupted the world and separated mankind from God. Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, died and resurrected from the grave to defeat sin and death. Eternal salvation is received by grace, through faith, in Christ—and is of the Spirit, not by works. The Kingdom of God is now among us on earth, in us who believe, and will arrive in all its fullness when Jesus returns in glory to forever establish His benevolent, eternal reign."
