Pastor-in-Residence Program
A mutually edifying residency connecting pastors from Alaska and across the nation with ACC students and staff in Soldotna.
Connecting Shepherds with Students
The Pastor-in-Residence (PIR) program at Alaska Christian College exists to provide our students and staff with the opportunity to interact directly with pastors from around the state of Alaska and across the country.
In our experience, we have found the Pastor-in-Residence program to be mutually edifying—deeply blessing both the visiting pastor with renewed vision and cross-cultural insight, while providing our campus community with rich pastoral care, chapel preaching, and personal discipleship.
The Pastor-in-Residence Experience
Chapel & Bible Teaching
Share God’s Word during our weekly Tuesday and Thursday campus chapel gatherings, speaking into the spiritual lives of young leaders.
Mentorship & Fellowship
Eat meals with students in the dining commons, join residence hall devotionals, and offer listening ears to students discerning God’s call.
Rest & Kenai Renewal
Stay in our campus guest housing on the wooded Kenai Peninsula, experiencing quiet rest, prayer, and the beauty of Southcentral Alaska.
