Tahoe Resident Leaders spotlighted for a recent service trip to Agua Prieta, Mexico

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Located in beautiful Truckee, California, Tahoe Forest Church (TFC) is situated on 52 acres bordering the pristine Truckee River. Set in an idyllic mountain location, the Tahoe Resident Leadership Program (TRLP) develops and guides aspiring Christian leaders for one year through experiential ministry training.


Leadership and spirtual development, service learning, and ministry work are the four areas of focus for the program. The TRLP provides participants with professional skills for planning, organizing, and developing Christian ministries.

Resident Leaders experience a unique perspective into vocational ministry through leadership training and serving alongside pastors and ministry leaders. 

 

Participants live in a beautiful house on the Church Campus as part of the residential program, which fosters close-knit relationships. Residents enjoy a unique, immersive experience with the natural setting of the church property.
