TESTIMONIALS

Cam Hammond

My experience as a resident was great. I was able to learn and grow in a lot of different areas as well as meet and get to know people from different races and cultures. I recommend this ministry position to anyone who has never done ministry before and is interested in ministry or joining a church’s staff.



Kaitlin Roach

I came into this program with zero expectations and very little confidence in myself as a ministry leader, and never would’ve applied for it if leaders hadn’t given that little push to try something that hadn’t been in my original plan. That’s the attitude of Chase Oaks staff—pushing you to try new things, to be a better version of yourself, and to live the life that God has called for you. Two years later, I am happier, more confident, and living out a mission that I was able to discover through this program.

Ashlyn Stanley

The residency at Chase Oaks was the perfect next step for me in my desire to be in full-time ministry. I learned how to receive and give feedback. The program also helped me find my voice in ministry and I got to step into applying my God-given gifts on a weekly basis. I was challenged but never set up for failure. The residency gave me the ability to be in ministry while having multiple helping hands guiding me in my journey of exploring vocational ministry. I can confidently say the residency prepared me for the job I have now, and I’m so grateful for Chase Oaks and their leadership.

Joanna Williams

For me the residency wasn’t “easy.” It was a challenging time where God continued to show me that he didn’t “need” me in ministry but he desires to use me in ministry. During my Chase Oaks Residency I not only was able to grow professionally, but personally. I was surrounded by so many people who challenged, encouraged, and supported me through all of my successes, trials, and failures. I also believe he prepared me to step into full-time ministry, something I don’t think I would’ve done if it wasn’t for the residency.
