Application Checklist for International Students:

Affidavit of Financial Support form:

We prefer all Pastor Recommendations be done online. When you submit the Online Application it will prompt you to enter your pastor’s email address. A pastor or mature Christian adult leader from the church you attend who has had the opportunity to observe your spiritual life should complete this form. The person should have known you for at least six months and not be a relative.
