No hidden fees. No surprises. Here is exactly what each path costs and what financial help is available if you need it.
Five things. Five prices. That is it.

The Full Journey
Spread across the full length of the program. Financial assistance is available and encouraged for Path 4 students.
Cost should never be the reason you say no.
Bridge 938 believes the model set out in the Book of Acts is about investing in people, not pricing them out. Three options exist to help make this financially possible for you.
Sponsorship
Ask the people around you to partner with you financially on this journey. Family, friends, your home church, and even your employer are all encouraged. Bridge 938 can help you think through how to approach this conversation.
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships are available to apply for. If approved, the scholarship covers a portion of your overall program costs. Reach out to Bridge 938 to ask about current scholarship availability and how to apply.
Fundraising
Bridge 938 supports fundraising efforts for students who need help covering costs. This is a real option, not a last resort. Many people in ministry have funded their training through people who believed in their calling.
Do not let cost be the reason you do not take this step. If you are serious about this and money is a barrier, reach out and have an honest conversation with Bridge 938. The goal is to make this possible for you, not to make it expensive.
A few costs that are your responsibility.
These are not program fees. They are practical things to be aware of and plan for.
Transportation to Helena
Each student is responsible for their own transportation to and from Bridge Helena for in-person class days. If you live in Helena this is minimal. If you are traveling from outside the area, plan this into your budget.
Lodging if you are out of town
Path 3 and Path 4 require two to five days per month in Helena. Bridge 938 will try to place you with a host family for those days at no cost to you. Let Bridge 938 know early so arrangements can be made before your first class day.
Quick answers.
Do I pay for everything up front?
Payment structure and timing is something to discuss directly with Bridge 938 when you enroll. The costs listed here are what the program involves, not necessarily what is due on day one.
Is there a registration or application fee?
No application fee to apply to Bridge 938. The only fees are the class costs listed on this page. Global University has its own registration fee which goes directly to them, not to Bridge 938.
What if I start Path 2 and want to take all nine classes later?
If you take individual classes first at $75 each and later decide you want all nine, talk to Bridge 938 about how the pricing works in that situation. The goal is to make it fair and accessible.
Does Path 3 really include seminary credit hours at no extra cost?
Yes. Completing the Paul to Timothy Institute (Path 3) qualifies you for six free credit hours toward a Master of Leadership and Ministry degree from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. That credit is included with the cost of the path itself.
Can my church pay for this?
Yes, and Bridge 938 encourages it. Sponsorship from your home church is one of the three financial assistance options. Many churches invest in their leaders this way. If your pastor is not sure about it, point them to the four paths overview.
What does Path 4 actually cost in total?
Path 4 starts at roughly $1,465 for the core items (nine PTT classes at $450 total, nine GU classes at $990, and the $25 CliftonStrengths assessment) plus the GU registration fee and any electives. It is spread over the full length of the program, not paid all at once.
