Kerusso Experience

Kerusso is a week-long preacher training camp for 9th-12th grade young men. Students spend the week on Harding's campus learning Bible study methods and sermon preparation and delivery from faculty, students, and friends. More importantly, perhaps, is that they learn that they, too, can serve the LORD in a lifetime of ministry.

Registeration will open January 1

 

The 12th annual Kerusso Experience will hold two sessions in 2025:

Session 1: June 28 - July 4 2024

Session 2: July 5-July 11

This year's theme is "Jonah- the Scandalous Love of God". In addition to the textual study, beginning, intermediate and advanced classes in preaching will be offered. Each year students will glean new information and insights. The application deadline for Kerusso 2025 is June 17, 2025 or when capacity is reached.

**Please note: Kerusso will be capped at a maximum of 30 students per session for 2025. Please register early.

 

COST: $300

We never want cost to be a factor to attend Kerusso. Scholarships are available.

Serving on staff at the Kerusso Experience each summer is one of the key pieces that keeps me going in ministry. I always come back to the pulpit reinvigorated and eager to preach the Word of God. Teaching the young men how to develop and deliver sermons fuels me with hope for the next generation of kingdom servants, which I am able to pass along to our congregation. As others have mentored and invested in me, I love being able to help develop those who come along after me. On top of that is the camaraderie that we share as a staff—fellow partners in the gospel who hold me up and make me a better man.
