FOR HONORARY DEGREE NOMINEES:

Your Endorsement Letter should highlight from at least 10 to over 25 years of lifetime achievement in ministerial service. It should include why they believe you should be a candidate and their relationship or experience with you. If possible, this letter should be on business or professional stationary and sent to us before Friday, July 19, 2024.

$175 should be donated for enrollment, using the PayPal button in the comment section of this page or anywhere on our website. Your tax-deductible receipt will immediately go to your email. If it's convenient for you to visit us, do so by calling (323) 402-0422 and making an appointment or Trisha at (323) 73-LIGHT (5-4448).

THIRD STEP: We need a Resume, Bio, and Letter of Intent, substantiating at least 10 to over 25 years of ministry. Some of this we may already have if you previously enrolled.
