About The Position

Ada Bible Church is seeking Worship Residents to join the worship ministry and be part of Ada Bible's Residency Program.

Through real-world ministry involvement, intentional leadership development, mentoring, and spiritual formation, Residents grow in clarity of calling, competency in ministry skills, and Christlike character—preparing them for faithful service to Jesus and His Church. In addition to their worship-specific role, Worship Residents participate in Ada Bible Church's broader Residency Program, which provides weekly leadership development sessions, mentorship, and community with other ministry residents. Ada Bible Church's Residency Program exists to help individuals pursue God’s call to vocational ministry through hands-on ministry experience, intentional leadership development, and a deepening relationship with Jesus.
