In order to alleviate some of the confusion that is likely to ensue following this post, let me give a brief definition of terms here:

Intern:  Someone who attends our weekly Church Planting Classes and receives coaching/mentoring for 9-months. (unlimited amount of planters accepted)

Resident:  Someone who raises support for a one-year, staff position at NorthWood before starting a new work somewhere in the world. (Only 4 accepted)

We coach, mentor, and train many church planters (or “community developers” as we call them) here at NorthWood every year.  We have several ways that we do this. 
First, is our internship program.  This is for people who have a passion for planting a new church, but lack some of the training and experience needed to become a full-fledged Resident Church Planter.  This is a 9-month process where planters from around the world come to a once-a-week classroom setting to learn from Bob, NorthWood staff, and other leaders.

Next, is our Residency Program.  This is a one-year program where 4 people are chosen to spend the work-week with NorthWood staff serving in ministry positions.  These four individuals must meet our requirements in the assessment and application process.

The process for both the internship and Residency are as follows:
First, fill out this application and submit it with your resume (there is a place to attach it to your application).
Next, go to http://www.churchplanterprofiles.com and do the complete online pre-assessment.  Be sure to put “Glocalnet” as your agency.  (This costs $79, but is necessary to go to the next step)
If you are wanting to become a Resident and you pass the pre-assessment, you will then be asked to attend a face-to-face assessment with your spouse at one of our approved assessment centers.

While we always accept people from around the world for our training, we are looking for people who are called to plant specifically in the following areas:
Washington D.C./Maryland area
Dallas/Ft. Worth
Detroit
Denver

Even if you are not looking to plant in these areas, please apply!  We want to see churches planted around the world!

One more thing, we are still accepting registrations for the August Turbo Training!  (click on the “Turbo” button in the menu above)
