    You don't have any choice, do you? See your pastor right away; I'm sure he will be happy to write you a reference even if he doesn't know you very well. However, be sure to give him a list of your accomplishments in the last few years and some relevant things he could mention about you in his letter. Be sure to thank him with a written letter or in person shortly after he finishes writing it.

    You might also consider applying to other universities just in case.

    What a sad reflection on the church you attend. Surely there must be youth pastors within such a "HUGE church"???

    If NO youth pastor has any knowledge of you either, then you cannot attend the church very often.

    How do you honestly expect to get a Pastoral reference if no pastor knows you??
