Apply to The Crossing

Trained before they were tested.

A twelve-week formation program for men. This isn't a signup form — it's the start of a conversation. Answer plainly. The honest version is more useful to you than the impressive one.

Phone — there's a call coming

City

The church you're part of — or "none right now," which is fine

In a sentence or two: what made you open this application today?

Which is closest to true right now? Something in my life is already breaking, and what used to work has stopped working. Nothing has broken yet, but I can see it coming and I don't feel ready. By most measures I'm doing fine, but there's a question I haven't been able to answer.

If your wife or the people closest to you described you honestly, would it match the man you know yourself to be? Where would it differ?

What are you hoping is different twelve weeks from now? Be specific.

This program asks for ~50 minutes a day, 90 minutes a week in a room with other men, and honesty in front of people who'll remember what you said. What's your honest reaction?

Is there anything you'd want to say before we talk? (optional)

Every applicant has a short phone call with the facilitator before a decision is made. The written application does not decide it — the conversation does. We read every one personally. You'll hear from us either way.
