Who should apply?
This program is designed specifically for young adults, many of whom are currently enrolled or recently graduated from their undergraduate studies. Because our program helps young adults gain skill training in a ministry setting, many of our applicants are seeking experience for their pursuit of vocational ministry; however, you need not be called to full-time church ministry to apply.
