Midtown University (U) Application Semester 1- 2025

Midtown U is a focused leadership program with two tracks: Student Leaders (7th–11th graders) and Midterns (12th graders, college students).

Two entry points into leadership, but one heart for one God, for one House — our church.

We focus on serving the local church and growing our faith daily by pursuing God. Midtown U participants will help plan and lead YTH and church events, deepen their relationship with Jesus, and develop practical leadership skills that can be used in the local church and beyond.

Please review all dates, details, commitments, and expectations with your parent so they are aware. Both you and your parent will need to sign at the bottom of the application. Once you complete the form, we’ll reach out to let you know if you’ve been accepted.
