01
How long does Pastors University last?
There are four Modules of three (3) days each. Each Module contains about 12 lessons. The whole program is designed to be completed in four months, one Module per month. There will be a “Spring” term and a “Fall” term.
02
What is the format of the Modules?
There are generally four main sessions during the day for three days. During each Module, the students will hear a live teaching from Pastor Larry, engage in Q&A with him about the content, then break it down in a Learning Community for 25 minutes. Throughout the day, students will also engage in live worship, prayer, and personal ministry.
03
Who is qualified to apply to attend Pastors University?
The material is totally geared to senior level church leadership. Lead pastors, lead pastors in training for succession, associate pastors, campus pastors and church planters are the primary candidates.
04
What is the cost of all four Modules?
All 50 lessons, workbook materials, and Learning community small group sessions are included in the cost of only $3500. Applicants with financial constraints are urged to find sponsorship from their local church board as continuing education. They may also approach business leaders or their church body for a special offering from their members. In addition to the pastor receiving training, all 50 lessons may then be taught to leadership groups within the sending local church. This multiplies the investment and multiplies the training to church staff and members.
05
Which cohort should I apply for?
Pastors who are accepted will be assigned to a term that best fits the information they provide in the application. If that term is not possible for them to able to attend, they will be allowed to enroll in the the other remaining term.
