Host A Resident - Learn More

The Northview Residency is a support-based program. Through our partnership with Reliant, each resident will be trained to raise the funding necessary to live while participating in the two-year program. 

While each resident has different needs to support them, we suggest $35,000 - $40,000 per year. 

A representative of Reliant will partner with the resident to develop a plan for raising funds and provide training along the way. 

Find out more about Reliant at this link .




Each Northview Resident will have the opportunity to earn their Masters of Arts in Ministry (MA.M.) through Taylor University. 

This coursework will help you develop a biblically-based ministry philosophy. 

We believe that combining classroom learning with real-life ministry opportunities will broaden your residency experience and serve you well for years to come. 

Each resident will need to fill out a separate application to Taylor University. Acceptance to the Northview Residency does not guarantee acceptance into the Taylor MA.M. program and vice versa.

FAQ

The Northview Residency is designed to be full-time 40-50 hours a week. This will make having an additional job difficult to sustain and keep a proper balance. That is why during the support-raising training thinking through what would be necessary to sustain the financial support and all the expenses associated with living in the Indianapolis area is vital. Some things to consider are:

*Rent (living alone or with roommates)
