Discernment Weekend FAQs
Yes. This is because the weekend is both a time for you to be interviewed and an opportunity for discernment, both for you and for the NET staff. Applicants learn more about NET’s history, prayer life, and lifestyle, in addition to participating in small group discussions, large group presentations, and more. The weekend is designed not only for us to get to know you better, but for you to get to know us as well.
