Application Process

We know big decisions can feel overwhelming, but applying for Relay isn’t about jumping through hoops, it’s about helping you figure out if this is the right next step for you. The Relay application process is designed to guide you through prayerfully considering where God might be leading you next. It’s not just about us getting to know you—it’s about you getting to explore whether a year of discipleship, training and mission is where God is calling you. We’ll ask about your faith journey, your passions, and why you’re considering Relay. There’s no ‘perfect candidate’ we’re not looking for people who have it all together, but for those who want to grow in their love for Jesus and share Him with others.

All applications are considered carefully, and a successful applicant would typically go through the following process:
