Core commitment:

All consulting and development for students—whether one-on-one or in groups—is provided at no cost to them. The financial responsibility rests with individuals, churches, denominations, and organizations so that students can freely receive discipleship, leadership development, and support in starting contextual ministry expressions on their campuses.

Sliding scale structure:

Small churches (limited budget, few staff):

• Example: A congregation of 75–150 people with a single pastor and tight annual budget.

• Approach: Offer significantly reduced consulting fees, shorter engagements, or shared “cluster” cohorts with other small churches so that costs are spread out.

Mid-sized churches or regional ministries:

• Example: A church of a few hundred people or a regional campus ministry hub with modest staff and a defined missions budget.

• Approach: Charge a moderate project-based fee for a fuller consulting process (listening phase, strategy design, leadership training, and follow-up).

• Option: Include periodic coaching calls across a semester or year, with the possibility of bundling multiple campuses or teams at a slightly reduced per-campus cost.

Large churches, denominational offices, or national para-church organizations:

• Example: A well-resourced congregation or organizational office overseeing several campuses or regions.

• Approach: Use higher, sustainable consulting fees that reflect the scope and complexity of multi-campus strategy, while helping underwrite free services for students and lower-resourced churches.

• Option: Annual or multi-year agreements that include on-site visits, leader intensives, and ongoing strategic support.

Institutions with very limited means:

• Example: Rural churches, immigrant congregations, or new church plants with almost no discretionary funds.

• Approach: Offer pro bono or “pay-what-you-can” consulting for a set number of hours each year, funded by higher-fee engagements with larger partners.

• Option: Group online cohorts where several such churches share training and coaching together to reduce individual cost.

How this serves students and partners:

• Students receive robust, ongoing coaching, discipleship, and leadership development without cost being a barrier.

• Small churches gain access to experienced consulting at a level they can realistically afford, rather than being priced out.

• Larger churches and organizations invest at a higher rate, not only for their own benefit but also to help subsidize work in under-resourced contexts.

• Everyone participates in a shared ecosystem where consulting remains accessible, sustainable, and aligned with a humble, kingdom-minded approach to campus ministry.
