1) Answer the application questions

In the application, you will find some basic informational questions, along with some short answer questions. Some people have found it helpful to review the short answer questions and draft responses in a separate document first (rather than writing them out in the form). You can preview the short answer questions here.

How to apply

2) Submit one reference

Each applicant must provide a reference from someone connected to a local church. Think about someone at your church who knows you well and can speak to who you are. It might be a pastor, someone on staff, a small group leader, or a member at your church. Applicants can copy the link and send along to your reference to complete.
