Be an active member of your local church

Your growth must always extend beyond the classroom! Before you step on stage or design a graphic, make sure you know what it looks like to be planted among a local congregation.

Pastoral or Mentor Recommendation 

Discipleship necessarily involves the oversight of someone beyond ourselves, and often provides us with the example we need to reach our own leadership potential. We’re confident, you have someone in your life who has helped you get to where you are. We want to hear what they have to share!

Agreement to Statement of Faith + Professional Conduct Guidelines 

Before you can learn the ropes of vocational ministry, we have to make sure you’re committed to the theology behind it. Also, that you’re prepared to represent the authority you train to take on, by agreeing to maintain a settled standard of conduct. These will help guide you, as you take on new opportunities, and steward real souls.
