Christians increasingly find themselves confronted with an array of social, ideological and cultural challenges. Believers are hungry, maybe even desperate, for guidance from church leaders. Help your members develop a satisfying biblical response to cultural pressure points.
Still not sure if this is right for your church? Choose up to four leaders from your church to participate in the next class TUITION FREE. Upon completion of the Program, if you don’t think that the Colson Fellowship will meet your church’s needs then we will part friends and you’ll have contributed to their spiritual development and—there is no contract or commitment on your part!
If, however, they discover what more than 2500 Christian leaders from every walk of life have found to be a “transformational” experience, then we can help you establish a Colson Fellowship Program at your church, led by these newly commissioned Fellows from your staff and/or congregation.
Church Affiliates of the Colson Fellows Program are facilitated by either your staff members or designated lay leaders who have successfully completed the Colson Fellows Program. If there are currently no commissioned Colson Fellows on staff or within your congregation, we will provide up to four full scholarships. (Number of free scholarships is based on the average attendance size of your church, with a minimum of 2 provided for every church.)
Through a Memorandum of Understanding, Church Affiliates agree to recruit the minimum number of students necessary to achieve the ideal learning experience (typically 5-7) in the Colson Fellows Program in exchange for discounted tuition rate of $450 per candidate (normally $900). Additional “seats” can be purchased at the same individual rate as needed. There are additional book costs for each participant of approximately $200.
Church Affiliates only pay for those students who remain enrolled as of October 1st. This allows your learners to get settled into the Program and ensures that you only pay for those students who are most likely to complete the Program. Students will pay their tuition directly to the Church Affiliate. We strongly recommend that students bear the cost of tuition as this is a rigorous program and investment on the part of the candidate proves very helpful in their commitment to completing the Program. Books are purchased by each candidate from a resource of their choice.

“The Colson Fellows Program is not just another Bible study or small group experience. The materials and format provide the backdrop for some of the most engaging conversations you can offer the people in your church. Students will be challenged to consider their core beliefs and gain confidence in addressing the most divisive issues in our culture without having to resort to a defensive and divisive tone. The whole process is not just focused on educating but on providing a formative opportunity. Our world is in the middle of the most seismic shifts in most of our lifetimes. The Colson Fellows Program can help followers of Jesus grow in their ability to remain steadfast during these cultural moments.”
