NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS MG 2012

Is MG just for those desiring to enter "full time" ministry?

Of course not! MG exists for anyone intimately seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that all followers of Christ are ministers, regardless of title or occupation. There isn't a "church" world or "secular" world; there's only the world. MG not only equips students for "life," but also helps them discover who they truly are, and in turn forge an incredible foundational relationship with Jesus Christ, the foundation upon which all things are possible.

What is the purpose of the application?
The application is just a form for us to see if there is any cause for concern for you in attending MG and so we can get to know you better.

If I apply for MG this year and cannot attend, do I need to apply again?
Yes. Applications are not carried over from year to year. Just send in the application again and we will usher you through the process.

How early can I apply for the upcoming MG session?
Right now! If the current session has started, we begin taking applications for the next session.

What does the application process entail?
After we receive your application, it will be reviewed by our Executive Director. There are two interviews. The first one with our director, and the second with one of our staff members. One of our staff members will be calling you to set up a convenient time for a phone interview. After the phone interview and completion of the Pastor’s Recommendation Form, you will be notified via phone or mail of your acceptance or denial within 3-4 weeks. (Note; if you are local, we may ask you to come into our office for a in person interview with our director).

Is every person who applies to Mission Generation going to be accepted?
Unfortunately, the answer to that question is, no. We believe it to be crucial that both you and MG leadership understand your participation to rest in the will of God. We prayerfully consider each application, just as we anticipate that you also will be praying before taking this paramount step in your life.

Are you allowed to work while in MG?
Our first and second year students are not allowed to work due to the schedule of our year being so demanding. Actually, there is not much time to work. MG is a 24/7 commitment.

Does MG travel?
MG travels to many different areas across the country. We also take numerous ministry and missions trips. There are many opportunities for travel in several capacities at MG.

How much are students involved at Family Worship Center?
Students are heavily involved in the ministries of Family Worship Center. Students will be involved with drama, kid’s ministry, student ministry, outreach, first impressions, multi media ministry and much more. When we are not on the road, we will be heavily involved with Family Worship Center.

What is the age requirement for MG?
MG students must be 18 years of age or older. In some cases, an exception may be made for a 17-year-old student if a birthday is close to the beginning of the program. There is no age limit on how "old" a student can be. Please contact our office for further details on under age admittance.

Do you give letters for Insurance Companies for students in MG?
Yes. Most insurance companies recognize MG as an acceptable school to further insurance time frames for current students who need to be in school for their health insurance to continue. Contact our office for more information.

If I have already done a year at a different discipleship program somewhere else, can I come to MG for my second year?
This depends. You would need to talk directly to our executive director and go through the admissions process and have an interview with our executive director to determine if you meet the criteria of our mission two program.

Is it a requirement to have a vehicle to attend Mission Generation?
No. Although it is not a requirement, due to the busy schedule, it is strongly suggested that each student have a reliable car and car insurance for their stay here in Mission Generation. If student's do not have a car, they will be required to find their own local transportation while in Mission Generation. We are not responsible for vehicle rental, insurance, etc. Students who will not be bringing a car need to contact our office.

How can I raise money for my tuition fee?
Start saving now! Many students work a job or two to raise money prior to their coming to MG. Some students send support letters to family, friends, their church, and local businesses in their area to raise monthly supporters.

Do I need all my money at registration day?
Yes, to avoid any stress for both interns and staff over finances we do require that tuition be paidin full on or by registration day. Registration goes towards room and board as well as materials while the intern is at Mission Generation.

What are the rules on dating?
The heart of MG isn't for people to find their mates for life, it's to find Jesus, and so, dating is not allowed for students.

What if I am married, can I still attend Mission Generation?
Yes. However, we require all married couples to find their own local housing. Call the business office for assistance in locating housing.

Is Mission Generation like college?
Mission Generation certainly has an academic element. Mission Generation balances discipleship, spiritual growth, and academics with a hands-on learning approach to all areas of the ministry.

After graduating from the the Mission Generation program, will I be prepared to go into full time ministry?
We would be hard-pressed to say that anyone would be ready for full-time ministry after just months of training. We do believe, however, that you will have a great foundation for ministry if you choose to pursue the call to ministry. While at MG, students will be involved in various ministries, as well as develope a personal ministry focus. These unique experiences, as well as personal relationships with each of our pastors and staff, results in a one-of-a-kind training ground for those seeking a career in ministry.

What Denomination is Mission Generation?
MG is a non-denominational program. We have students who come from different denominational backgrounds. Our church is a Spirit Filled (Pentecostal) / Non Denominational Church.
