Application Process
Getting into the Program
Any student interested in the Call should contact the director as soon as possible. In order to benefit from all the program has to offer. It is best for students to enter at the beginning of their freshmen or sophomore year, though juniors may also apply, but will miss some program components.
Students will be grouped by year in Cohorts, with the maximum of 10 students in each cohort. All applicants will be evaluated on a case by case basis, with a central concern for promoting quality candidates for ministry. Seniors are not eligible to enter the program but may participate in many of its activities.
The application process may be started as soon as a student is certain they'd like to apply - either prior to the startup of school or within the first few weeks. All application materials should be submitted by September 30th. Acceptance to the Call after that time will depend upon Cohort availability.
