Here's what our residents are saying about their program:
"My favorite part about the program is the hands-on training that we get. This program allows individuals to get their feet wet in ministry without the fear of being burnt out. Sagebrush staff come along with each resident and build and train them up, not only in ministry but in life." – Youth Pastor, Zach.

“My favorite thing about the residency program at Sagebrush is the amount of opportunity I have had for growth and leadership.” - Elsie is part of our Worship Leader/Arts Residency Program
