Phase 1: Orientation phase - During this phase, the resident coach ensures that the resident becomes a functioning member of the church staff and their ministry team. This includes onboarding training in all systems, shadowing members of the team, weekly one-on-one mentoring meetings, etc.

Phase 2: Maturation Phase - During this phase, the resident actively serves on a ministry team (out front, leading, shepherding, and developing others). Leadership assignments align with gifting, passion areas, and ministry needs. Learning to lead through volunteers. Development coaching in areas that need personal development.

Phase 3: Completion Phase - During this phase, the residents will begin to delegate their responsibilities to volunteer leaders they have trained. They will start working on their resume and job search skills to secure a vocational ministry role. One-on-one coaching continues with the residency mentor.
