PASTORAL RESIDENCIES

  • First Presbyterian Church - Ann Arbor, MI

    • Participate in a “first call” experience that will complement and complete your preparation for ministry in a challenging and supportive environment. Our aim is to provide a foundation for new pastors to flourish in a wide array of settings, and with the whole range of duties and responsibilities expected of a minister.

      You will be immersed with a small cohort of seminary graduates into an active congregation in a vibrant university town. Our program combines experiences and reflection to deepen call, awaken strengths, and stimulate pastoral imagination.

      We strive to be a progressive, inclusive, and affirming community offering inspirational worship, engagement with matters of equity, racism, poverty, and social justice, and commitment to serving our neighbors in need.

      For more information, contact Rev. Dr. Sandra McDonald, Resident Ministry Program Administrator: smcdonald@fpca2.org of 734-680-8907.

      Deadline to apply: April 1, 2026
