Grand Rapids Theological Seminary is committed to equipping students and elevating their integration of theological discipline with ministry experience. The Ministry Residency program at GRTS prepares students for vocational ministry by providing avenues for them to connect with ministry mentors and to invest in local ministries. If you are pursuing a Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Christian Formation or Master of Arts in Intercultural Ministries degree you will invest eight credits of your program toward serving alongside a mentor in a local ministry. Through the Ministry Residency, we are committed to assisting your preparation and implementation of this aspect of your program.
It is the spirit of GRTS to work with the church to assist in preparing ministry leaders for theologically informed ministry practice and who are theologically competent and ministry capable. GRTS continues to enjoy a growing heritage of ministry leaders in multiple fields expressing the gospel through pastoring, teaching, counseling and leading. It is in these expressions that we find our greatest sense of impact and success.
