Missionary Apprentice

Getting started

The first step is to complete an Information Form. This does not obligate you to a definite or immediate commitment but allows you to have personalized information and guidance to work through the process. If you would like to speak to someone, please call our Initial Contact Coordinators at the number listed below.

  • When you log on, you must first register which will ensure the privacy of your information through our secure website.
  • Once you have registered, you will receive a user name to access the form. Married couples register only once and use the same assigned user name and password.
  • The husband's part of the form must be completed first, but should not be submitted until the wife and children's data has been entered.
  • You may save your information, exit the program and return later to complete it as long as you do not click the submit button. You may do this as often as necessary before you submit it.
  • Once you submit the Information Form, you can no longer edit it.
  • You should receive acknowledgement of receipt from your Candidate Consultant within 7 to 10 working days after submitting your form.

You will need an e-mail address where you can receive electronic mail personally. If you do not have such an address, you may easily create one at no cost at one of the following sites: Mail.com, Hotmail, or Yahoo. You can use any computer with internet access to set up an e-mail address. An active e-mail address is necessary so that you can receive an IMB computer generated user name and submit your application forms electronically.

If you have trouble completing any form online, please contact our Help Desk at 1-800-999-3113, extension 1300.

After We Receive Your Information Form
A candidate consultant will be assigned to you, determined by the state in which you live. Your candidate consultant or candidate consultant assistant will contact you to answer your questions and gather information about your personal call, education, experience, family issues, health and job interest. Other forms will be sent to you at the appropriate time determined by your candidate consultant.
