Kerusso Experience

About

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.

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.

COST: $300 We never want cost to be a factor in attending Kerusso. Scholarships are available.

The deadline for Kerusso 2025 applications is June 17, 2025 or when capacity is reached.

Kerusso will be capped at a maximum of 30 students per session, please register early.
