How to Get Started

 

Step 1: Register for Course 

Register for a mentoring class through your student portal or by visiting the Registrar Office. Once you have registered, the Mentoring Office will contact you. 

Step 2: Select a Mentor 

Once the mentoring office has contacted you, the next step is to select your mentor. 

Ensure your chosen mentor meets the following criteria: 

  • At least 5 years of ministry experience. 
  • Holds a master’s degree. 
  • Has relevant experience in the field of study you will be focusing on. 
  • Potential mentors include pastors, ministry colleagues, or professors with whom you have an existing or desired mentor relationship.  
  • Ideally, mentors and students should be of the same gender.  

Once you have selected your mentor, follow one of the following steps: 

  • For Returning Mentors: If your mentor has mentored with NOBTS before, they do not need to resubmit an application. Email the mentoring office with your mentor's name to confirm their status. 
  • For New Mentors: If your mentor has not been previously approved, have them submit the mentor application below. 
  • Unsure About Status: If you are uncertain whether your mentor is approved, contact the mentoring office at Mentoring@nobts.edu to verify their status. 

Approval of your mentor must be completed before the last day of drop/add, or you will be withdrawn from your class.
