Mentorship Requirement and Support
All students enrolled in the Core Program are expected to engage with a designated mentor. The pastor-mentor component is an integral element of the curriculum, aimed at fostering self-reflection, spiritual development, and personal growth. For students without an assigned mentor, assistance is available to facilitate a suitable match.
A Mentor Orientation is typically conducted in October, and comprehensive mentor resources are provided to support both mentors and mentees throughout the program.
