1) Answer the application questions

In the application, you will find some basic informational questions, along with some short answer questions.

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.
