Six months to explore Scripture and the Christian tradition, examine culture, and consider life’s big questions. This is a unique and rich context for Christian formation.

The Residential Fellowship is a six-month full-time study programme based in Auckland for people who desire a deeper understanding of God, the world, and themselves, and who want to serve and lead in their communities with vibrant faith and wisdom.

Guided by a world-class team, Fellows are given an opportunity to explore the question: How do I live wisely in 21st-century Aotearoa, New Zealand? The Residential Fellowship provides a unique context to wrestle with this question and discover transformative and life-giving answers that enable effective engagement with the complexities of our world.

Living together, Fellows form a learning community around the table and in the classroom, held together through rhythms of prayer and worship that are central to their life together. The Fellowship cultivates personal formation and, for many, deep and long-lasting friendships.

The Fellowship is for young adults (20-30 years old) who are committed to deepening their faith, who have a capacity for leadership and service, and who have demonstrated academic ability. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, communities, and churches, who are committed to learning alongside others, knowing and loving God, and asking how their lives can serve Aotearoa, New Zealand.
