What does this include?
Includes access to ALL seven core classes needed for licensing in 12 months (plus books).
The subscription period for the 2025-2026 school year begins September 1, 2025, and ends August 31, 2026. A new class is offered every odd-numbered month, so all seven classes can be completed in the subscription period.
What to Expect?
Registration for the 2025-2026 school year begins on August 1, 2025!
Attention! Because the 2025-2025 school year ends August 31st, 2025, you will need to contact Beth Ash (bash@theglr.org) directly for a link that will enable you to pay and register for coursework in the May/June and July/August 2025 sessions.
-
Classes are taught over a 2-month period using Zoom by GLR pastors with an M-Div or higher who are vetted by Kingswood, who also sends transcripts to the Wesleyan Education & Clergy Development Division.
-
If a student stays on the path – in a 14 month time period, they will be educationally qualified for licensing.
-
If the student decides to pursue a ministerial degree at Kingswood, they’ll have earned 9 credit hours from Kingswood – all for only $275
-
We encourage churches with multiple students to have the students meet together for class.
-
Because the classes are only for GLR students, our hope is that this next wave of pastors will make connections across the region with others who share their passion for reaching the lost.
