Resident Life Ministries
About Us
Resident Life Ministries exists for the gospel to go forward at the apartments that we partner with. We train up individuals and teams to understand the gospel message, pursue God’s heart for the nations, and to be equipped for a lifetime of ministry. We offer a paid 2 year ministry intensive that allows for our teams to focus on ministry and equipping for a lifetime of ministry.
Our Four Pillars
Missional Neighbor
We host irresistible events, open our homes for radical hospitality, and seek opportunities to show genuine care for our fellow residents. As we do so, we invite our neighbors into a deeper sense of community. By thinking creatively and establishing a high standard for resident engagement, we create rhythms within our apartments that foster a sense of belonging and value.
Authentic Neighbor
As we seek to understand people’s story, we are more able to see how the Gospel directly affects their context. We foster genuine curiosity and good question asking through our intentional coursework, featuring various readings and conferences.
Biblical Neighbor
Resident Life Ministries seeks to train disciple makers who are equipped for missional living in whatever context they may be called. Our team will develop a foundational understanding of God’s Word and how it engages us deeper in the work of loving our neighbors.
Global Neighbor
Discover more of God’s heart for the world and your place in the mission of seeing every “tribe, tongue, and nation” won for Christ. We dive into various levels of coursework and cultural practices to expand our knowledge of the world around us. We will pray for the nations and engage with God’s heart for his global Church.

About Us
Resident Life Ministries was formed to be an association of churches under § 170(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code and is a non-profit, religious corporation.We desire to cooperate with other like-minded churches who share our doctrinal statement and mission to advance the kingdom of God in apartment communities.
Partner With Us In Transforming Lives
Resident Life Ministries is organized as an association of churches who prize healthy local churches as God’s means to accomplish the Great Commission. In particular, Resident Life Ministries is an undertaking of local churches with shared doctrinal beliefs who are joining together in a cooperative effort to implement strategies that seek to support the extension of the Kingdom of God and the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by specifically ministering to individuals living in urban and suburban apartments complexes in fulfillment of the Great Commission and the Biblical command to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 12:31).Cooperative churches are churches whose doctrinal beliefs and practices are consistent with the historic and Biblical teachings of Christianity set forth in our Doctrinal Statement and support the mission of Resident Life Ministries. Cooperation with churches may take many forms but may include:
1 Developing biblical resources, strategies, best practices, training, and/or events to enable and equip cooperating and member churches to advance the Gospel in the specific apartment communities;
2 Identifying, equipping, commissioning, and providing resources for Christians from cooperating churches to live and serve in apartment communities where they can proclaim the Gospel through their lips and their lives, love their neighbors in these communities as Christ has loved them, and minister to the spiritual and practical needs of community residents; and
3 Carrying out Gospel ministry in specific apartment communities through the Association and cooperating and member local churches to meet the spiritual and practical needs of community residents.
