2024-2025 Training Application

2024-2025 Training Application

Read everything thoroughly
Before you begin:

FIRST: This is an application to be filled out prayerfully. I recommend you take some time now, before you begin, to be still before the Lord and pray. SECOND: If you have not yet, please go to TheEtceteras.org and read the entire "About" page.
How to answer the questions:

The right way to answer these questions is not to give the most “correct” answer, but rather the most honest one. This application is a good introduction to the training. I am not looking for perfection, but I am looking for effort, honesty, and vulnerability. To be made strong, you must be aware of where you are weak. IMPORTANT: If you are accepted to The Etceteras, and are later found to have been dishonest or intentionally misleading on your application, you will be sent home.
