Donor Challenge Details
How the Donor Challenge Works
Crossway’s tuition is just $65 per credit, one of the lowest-cost ministry training programs available. But even that can be a challenge for many called leaders.
We invite churches, alumni, and ministry partners to support our Donor Challenge, a program where donors cover 1 or 2 credit hours per course, while students contribute the rest—ensuring shared responsibility and commitment.
How It Works:
•Student Investment: Every student pays a minimum amount per course
•Donor Support: You help cover 1–2 credit hours ($65–$130 per course)
•Church Option: Churches can match their member’s tuition or sponsor a small group
This model keeps students engaged in their training while letting donors invest in high-impact, measurable transformation.

Are you a pastor, elder, or ministry leader who wants every member of your congregation to grow in biblical knowledge and leadership—without leaving your campus? Crossway Institute partners with local churches to bring our accredited-transfer courses right to your sanctuary, classroom, or fellowship hall.
How It Works:
- You host – Use your 0wn space and identify trusted leaders from your church to serve as facilitators and mentors.
- We provide – We deliver the fully online curriculum…including live or recorded lectures, discussion forums, assignments and mentor training.
- Your people grow – Students learn In either English or Spanish at a reduced tuition rate, determined in partnership with your church.
