YOUR INVESTMENT
The true cost of the program is $5000 per person.
We recognize, however, that the vibrancy of each cohort is determined by the diverse experiences each participant brings. To ensure participants from different kinds of congregations have access to this first-class experience, individual costs are determined on a sliding scale based on the membership size of the church you serve.
- Participants will be able to pay in up to three installments.
- Travel or transportation to and from campus are the responsibility of the participant.
- Please don’t let cost be a reason you don’t apply! If you have questions about potential scholarships or financial assistance, email ironsharpeningiron@ptsem.edu
