Date

We are accepting applications for the fall 2026 term with an approximate start date of mid-September 2026. If you have questions regarding timing (or any other matter) that would affect your interest in applying, please use the contact form on our website instead of the application.

I understand that my application is for the fall of 2026, starting in mid-September and finishing by April 30, 2027.*

I understand.

We believe that through our own difficult experiences, God enables us to empathize and care for those walking through pain. However, due to the intensity of the curriculum, we encourage women to pursue healing in their own broken places prior to applying for Restore Training. While each trainee will be assigned a coach to walk alongside them, our coaches are not to be viewed as counselors. Restore coaches are available to their trainees for prayer, conversation, and accountability.*

I understand.

We also encourage awareness of how some of the curriculum may impact a person emotionally and spiritually. There are materials within Restore that may trigger a person with past trauma. While we recognize that every person is on a continual healing journey, we value enabling our trainees to care for others, rather than focusing on their own healing while taking the training.*

I understand.
