The Travis Institute Ministry Residency seeks to develop mature Christians (humble, teachable, and obedient) to live on relentless mission through multiplying disciples and churches locally, domestically, and globally.
- The ministry resident is open to those who have a college degree and exhibit a strong desire to grow in leadership and competency in ministry domestically or globally.
- The Travis Avenue Ministry Residency will seek to develop missional disciples and effective leaders by providing the following:
- Spiritual Development

The full-time ministry residency would be considered a 40-hour-a-week assignment. While there is flexibility, a general guideline would be as follows:
- Fifteen hours dedicated to in-house ministry in a selected field – This would be in the resident’s specific area of assignment and under the supervision of the assigned staff member
- Ten hours dedicated to a Travis community/outreach ministry. This ministry would be tailored to the residency goals and function to meet the strategic needs of outreach to our community
- Seven hours in spiritual life/theological/practical preparation and instruction
- Four hours dedicated to weekly Sunday and Wednesday night ministry
- Two hours in administration and support raising
- Two hours of cross-pollination (Serving and talking with various ministries of the church for a more well-rounded ministry experience)
