Pastor's Reference Form

The person who sent you the link to this form has applied to begin a SIAFU Chapter (and become the coordinator of that Chapter) of The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) in your congregation. As all SIAFU Chapters must be hosted in a church or ministry, the pastor's approval is a necessary part of the acceptance. The applicant has, therefore, given your name as a reference. Each applicant must submit a recommendation from his/her pastor (or spiritual authority, if the candidate is starting a Chapter in an organization other than a local church). This recommendation is given serious attention; therefore, we request that you complete the form carefully and candidly. Thank you!
