These documents can be filled out on your computer, saved and either e-mailed or mailed/FAX'd to the Presbytery. The deposit check will need to be mailed. You will be able, as well, to e-mail forms to those who will provide references for you; they will be able to return those to the Presbytery by e-mail which will probably be most convenient for them. However, FAXing or mail may be used as well. Addresses are on the forms.
PDF Application for those who are not able to complete an electronic application
You will need to download just two files. All of the application pages are in one file; you will print these out, keep the Youth Application pages for yourself and distribute a reference form, with an explanation page, to each of those who will prepare a reference for you.
