The Divergent615 Church Planting Apprenticeship is a unique opportunity to receive training and development to prepare you for launching a new church plant while actively ministering to an existing congregation of Midtown Fellowship.

The apprenticeship includes three phases:

Phase one–engage in weekly training and development while serving on a congregational team
Phase two–build and lead a core group dedicated to launching a church plant
Phase three–launch the church plant with the full support of the Midtown movement

Divergent615 is built on these pillars:

1. Never go alone

Partner with one of our six congregational teams to co-labor with them in the work of their community
Participate in our church planters’ fellowship with other apprentices for mutual encouragement and learning
Recruit and develop a core group of 50 people and multiply this group for your own church plant in phase two

2. Healthy pastors plant healthy churches

Grow in character, connection and competence through our training in emotional, spiritual, relational and professional maturity
Receive one-on-one mentoring from current Midtown pastors
If married, your spouse will participate in specific trainings and receive care
Regular assessments will track your readiness to plant

We are seeking candidates who exhibit the qualities of humble, hungry and smart:

Humble–teachable and ready to learn
Hungry–ambitious to see the kingdom of God grow across the city of Nashville through the growth of his church
Smart–adept at marrying theological knowledge and cultural relevance

Ministry and development on a congregational level will comprise three-quarters of your time in an average week, while training and mentoring from our Divergent615 staff will comprise approximately one-quarter of your time each week.

Ideal candidates will be ordained or able to be ordained in the Presbyterian Church of America.

Partial funding is provided through Midtown Fellowship and Nashville Presbytery, but apprentices are expected to raise the remainder of their required salary.
