InnerCHANGE Dating Policy
Dating Guidelines & Policy

Apprenticeship Dating Agreement

The InnerCHANGE Apprenticeship Handbook currently states:

"Due to the demands and commitments of the apprenticeship, we ask apprentices who are considering marriage to wait until after the apprenticeship.  New dating relationships, while not prohibited, must not compete with an apprentice's primary commitments."

 

In addition, each team may have more specific dating guidelines relevant to their team and ministry context.  This agreement includes an expectation that you will consult with your mentor and team leader regarding your dating status as needed.

If you agree, click below. If not, email us to let us know why you're not there yet, and keep working on the other stuff.  We'll get back to you quickly so it shouldn't delay submitting by much.  
 

Not ready to agree to this? Click on "I want to talk with someone about it before I agree" and we'll contact you.


Just checking!

The Last Question

So we know that sometimes applications can be intimidating.  There's always this nagging sense to answer the questions the "right" way. You can start to wonder if saying something wrong will get yourself cut from the team. Worst of all, we write all the questions and you rarely get to answer the question that you really feel is the core question, so it's hard to give the best impression of yourself.  

In order to give you a chance to say it all...say anything...get an automatic A+ on a question, we've got THE LAST QUESTION. It's a wild-card. A freebie. We're letting you write your own question, and we want your own best answer.

THE LAST QUESTION: (Write your own question and answer)
