When the BGI Board has approved your application, we will set up a new ministry orientation meeting with the BGI Administrative Director. This will help us begin getting you and your ministry set up to receive the services of BGI. At this time you will sign your contract and pay any necessary start-up fees associated with beginning your ministry.
