Deploy 401 - Pastoral Equipping Process

Deploy 401 is the intentional process by which we develop pastoral residents to either pastor an existing church or plant a new church locally or nationally that bear our Theological Distinctives. This is the final phase of our Equipping Process.

As a church, we are fully convinced of the Vision of God (Isaiah 11:9) and Mission of God (Matthew 28:19-20). Therefore, our passion and energy align to pursue the mission by equipping individuals who can pastor an existing church or plant a new church. Our goal is to build a network of churches that are replicating this process with our Theological DNA.


Pastoral Residency (2-year program)

The Pastoral Residency (previously known as our internship) is for individuals who desire to receive practicum training in pastoral ministry. The pastoral resident will work closely with our pastors and elders through an intentional curriculum of theological training, leadership development, ministry responsibilities, teaching and preaching opportunities, and a variety of pastoral responsibilities.

The intent of the residency is to learn how to pastor from the inside out, with an end result of either stepping into a lead pastoral role in an existing church or to plant a new church. The residents we invest in will continue to network with Waukesha Bible Church in order to replicate the process in order for the mission to advance.

Pastoral Internship (Summer program)

The Pastor Internship is a new program we are starting as a pre-residency program. The summer internship will focus exclusively on equipping the participants with our Theological DNA and training in pastoral responsibilities that happen in the "classroom of life." The internship gives both the participant and our leadership an opportunity to invest and determine if the intern would be a good fit in our Pastoral Residency program.
