The cost to participants for the pathway is $125. This amount only covers a fraction of what the pathways will offer you, from a number of personalassessments, to personalized content from national leaders, to a Midwinter gathering. LMDJ, NPTS, and the ECC Ministerium are subsidizing theremaining cost as an investment in your leadership. Beyond this minimal fee, you will also be purchasing a few books and resources for pathwaycontent. If money is still a hindrance, please email Dominique.Gilliard@covchurch.org for scholarship opportunities.
