Costs

How do we guarantee our congregation is on the Line of Departure calendar?

  • Your Line of Departure seminar will not be confirmed until we receive a $500 non-refundable deposit. The deposit will be applied toward the final invoice for your event.

What expenses are involved in hosting a Line of Departure seminar?

  • $50 per attendee to cover the cost of registration, training, and manual (required for EACH participant).
  • Travel, meals, and accomodations for training team (trainer, worship leader, and administrator)
  • Honorariums:
    • If your event consists of 100 or more participants, Line of Departure will
      cover the cost of training team honorariums.
    • If your event consists of 99 or fewer participants, honorariums will be the
      responsibility of the hosting church. Line of Departure suggests a $300
      honorarium for each of the three training team members that will conduct your
      seminar.

Additional expenses may include, but are not limited to:

  • continental breakfast on Saturday, and snacks throughout the weekend, if you decide to provide these for your attendees
  • advertising banners, office supplies, etc.
  • babysitting services for families who cannot make other arrangements.
