Christ Community Church is excited to welcome the 2025–2027 cohort into our Church Residency Program! The residency is a two-year journey which combines hands-on ministry experience with graduate-level education, and is fully funded through CCC and a generous partnership with Crown College. Our goal is simple: prepare residents for a lifetime of ministry without the burden of additional debt.

As this new group begins their residency, here are four ways you can show them your support:

PRAY
Pray for our residents as they train, for the staff who mentor them, and for the churches and ministries that will soon benefit from their leadership. Above all, pray that God is glorified as more young leaders are sent out.

GIVE
While tuition and a modest stipend are covered, each resident raises support for living expenses. Your generosity—whether to an individual resident or to the program—helps free them to focus fully on their calling. Give online at cccomaha.org/give.

HOST
Residency includes living with a CCC family for the two years. If you have space in your home and a heart for hospitality, consider opening your door to a resident. Learn more at cccresidency.org/hosthome.

CONNECT
Take a moment to meet our residents, introduce yourself, and encourage them. A kind word, a meal, or even a small gift card can go a long way in reminding them they are supported.

This program is only possible when the whole church family joins in—through prayer, generosity, hospitality, and encouragement. Together, we are raising up the next generation of church leaders. Thank you for investing in the future of the Church!

Josiah Vang, High School Ministry

Age: 28
Hometown: Shoreview, Minnesota
College & Degree: Crown College, Christian Studies
Call to Ministry: I felt the call to ministry at the age of 18. I attended Crown Online in 2016, and after a few semesters, I decided to pursue a path in auto mechanics. I worked in the auto industry for six years. During that season, I was trying to make a name for myself as well as become wealthy. Finding self-sanctification led me to many dead ends in my career. I found myself longing for something more. After countless prayers and many people speaking into my life, I made the decision to go back to school and continue pursuing what God had started in my life. In the near future, I want to open a retreat center for boys and men to learn about being a godly man, husband, and son.
‍Favorite Food: Baby Back Ribs
Coffee Order: I do not like coffee, but I enjoy White Cherry Gatorade
