Cost and Finance

"I have had so many different experiences, each affecting me in different ways. And although things weren't always easy, God has brought me closer to Him."

The Programme

How much will it cost?

Every Urban Challenger costs BCM around £3,500.  However, we ask Urban Challengers to contribute a minimum of £1,500 towards the cost of the course

BCM provides the accommodation, a weekly food allowance, a monthly bus pass, training and exposure to a City Mission on the cutting edge of urban ministry. Students have to provide their own pocket money and finance for any other personal needs.

Married students living in their own accommodation will only be asked to contribute £500. Student contributions may be paid term by term. We see this as good missionary training as we seek God to meet our needs.

Ways to raise money include:

◊ working and saving before starting the course

◊ support from family and friends

◊ approaching your local church leadership team

◊ applying to local grant-making trusts.

We would like one of our senior staff to visit your home church before you start or during the first term in order to stimulate prayer support for you. We would expect you to pass on regular news of BCM to your church and friends so that they can remember you in prayer.
