Ministry Fellowship

Ministry Leader Development Pipeline

Ministry Fellowship is an intentional ministry development opportunity for individuals pursuing a potential calling into vocational ministry. Participants serve in a paid staff role, gaining focused experience within one area of ministry while receiving broader exposure to the life and ministry of The Well.

Through hands-on ministry experience, staff development, personal discipleship, and mentorship, participants grow in their understanding of ministry and develop greater clarity about how God is leading them to faithfully serve His Church.

Who Is It For?

Ministry Fellowship is for individuals who are seriously considering vocational ministry and are ready to take on meaningful responsibility within the local church.

Applicants should be active members of The Well who have completed the Ministry Internship, VLA, or an equivalent ministry development experience. Participants should be prepared to engage fully in the life of the church, serve as part of a ministry team, and grow through ongoing coaching, feedback, and spiritual formation.

What to Expect

As a participant, you can expect to:

  • Serve in a paid, part-time staff role with meaningful responsibility within a ministry area.
  • Receive ongoing mentorship, coaching, and feedback from experienced ministry leaders.
  • Participate in staff meetings and the broader rhythms of The Well.
  • Engage in personal discipleship, staff prayer, and regular ministry formation.
  • Participate in a monthly ministry round-table focused on growing in ministry wisdom and understanding.
  • Help facilitate the Summer Cohort as part of your development and service.
  • Reflect throughout the year on your calling, strengths, growth, and next steps in ministry.

The goal is not simply to gain ministry experience, but to develop a clearer understanding of your calling and what it means to faithfully serve the Church.
