Apply - Bakos Project

We are glad you are interested in the Bakos Project! We love mentoring LGBTQ Christians who want to follow Christ and use their spiritual gifts to serve others. Our hope is to come alongside you to nurture your faith and strengthen your existing leadership abilities.

The application is now open for the next cohort (10-12 people between the ages 22 and 39). We hope you will consider applying. The deadline to apply is April 31, 2024.

The cohort begins with an in-person half-day gathering on October 24th at the CenterPeace Conference in Dallas, Texas, which takes place October 24-26 (conference registration is waived for those accepted into the cohort). An in-person weekend retreat will take place in spring 2025 (date selected based on participant availability; lodging and food covered for the spring retreat). Applicants will also participate in monthly Zoom calls (2nd Monday each month) through the duration of the program (which concludes June 2025).

Once you submit the application, we will respond within three business days. If you don’t hear back from us, it’s possible the form did not submit properly. In that case, text us at 469-708-8211, and we can e-mail the application to you. We look forward to hearing from you!
