We only charge a tuition to cover the costs related to having the event, such as the event space, speakers, and staffing. In fact, Polishing the Pulpit does not fully cover its cost, and the difference is made up through individual and congregational donations.
Children attend for free with parents or legal guardians. If you want to send your child with a grandparent or your congregation wants to send a group of young people, the tuition is $150/teenager.
Times with no tuition fees:
There is a scholarship program for those who cannot afford the registration fee for PTP. Scholarship applications for 2026 open in February 2026 and close on March 1, 2026.
