"The Masterclass lives up to its name by providing both the information and the inspiration for starting a Residency program. Between the teaching, coaching, peer conversations, and the resources — nothing was left untouched."

Common Questions

Still Have
Questions?

Who should attend?

Anyone who is architecting a residency program, already leading one, or looking to take an internship experience to the next level. Any staff who lead or will be leading an intern or a resident.

What will we cover?

All aspects of a residency program including: funding, launching, recruiting, onboarding, HR and legal issues, pay scale, job descriptions, how to have developmental conversations, the Lp Core 20 competencies, checkpoints, the Lp framework of mental health, ownership, best practices, and more.

My church already works with Lp — should I attend?

Absolutely! Do a deeper dive and get questions answered. You can be a resource for others and network with your ministry peers from across the country.

How is this different from coaching or a normal Lp partnership?

A normal Lp partnership is over two years in length and is grounded in monthly coaching. This gathering is an intensive 2-day training all about how to start a residency to recruit, support and develop the next generation of leaders for your team.

Can I host a Masterclass at my organization?

Yes! If you have a network in your region or a large staff, the Masterclass can come to you. You handle logistics and arrangements; we provide all content and handle registrations. Fill out the request form here.
