Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the School of Leadership Cost?
Typically, the Triangle Network Church you are partnered with covers the cost of your School of Leadership courses.
When do the tracks start?
Our goal is for students to have the ability to jump into the School of Leadership at any point throughout the year whenever they are ready to maximize their time and provide maximum flexibility.
Are classes in person at a certain time?
We intentionally utilize a hybrid model of education that combines on-demand content and teaching with monthly live-in-person student cohorts and a local church environment for practical application. The result is maximum flexibility with genuine relationships.

Learning happens best in a community with others going through the same formational process.
