We do ask that you pay $50.00 to help cover some of the expenses for The Pursuit. This will help cover all the books, materials, food, and activities that you will be given as you go through The Pursuit. If finances are an issue please contact us at 970-430-5153 or thepursuit.realfaith@gmail.com. We do have scholarships available for those in need.

Is this going to be easy?

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that you will have a community of young adults going through The Pursuit with you and encouraging you as you go. No in the sense that going through The Pursuit will require a certain amount of sacrifice and commitment. But you should know that spiritual growth does not just happen accidentally in your life. For you to pursue Christ you will need to pick up your cross and follow him. This is not easy. The Pursuit has been put together to help you understand the costliness of following Christ and the joy.

What If I Run Into A Scheduling Conflict?

First try to resolve the conflict without backing down from the commitment you have made to The Pursuit. You not being at a team event hurts other students in our program. If you can’t resolve the conflict please let us know by emailing us at (thepursuit.realfaith@gmail.com) or talking to one of the leaders. One of us will help you work through it.
