Vision

Entire apartment communities consumed with passion for Jesus, as an epicenter of renewal within their cities through the local church.

Resident Life Coordinators

Resident Life Coordinators, or RLC’s, live in apartment communities, welcoming their neighbors and building friendships, sharing the love that God has for all people. Caring for others starts with being a GREAT neighbor.

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.

Our Paid, 2-Year
Ministry Intensive

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.


Create Magnetic Communities At Your Apartments

We are a faith-based nonprofit that exists to care for the residents of apartment communities in authentic and tangible ways, leading to change.

Our partner apartment communities experience organic business growth with Resident Life Coordinators on site in their buildings. Increasing the quality of experience for your residents has a massive impact on the bottom line for your business, and our mission is to see that happen for all of your properties.
