RESIDENCY

The Chicago Eagles Residency is a one-year sports ministry program that disciples young adults in following Jesus while equipping, encouraging, and empowering them to develop their faith and leadership.

Residents are equipped with a biblical foundation and sports ministry knowledge, encouraged through mentorship and community that fosters growth, and empowered through hands-on experience and applied ministry. Throughout the year, Residents develop the skills and confidence to serve as Christ-centered leaders on and off the field.
