About Kerusso

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, they learn that they, too, can serve the Lord in a lifetime of ministry.

The 13th annual Kerusso Experience will hold two sessions in 2026:

COST: $300

We never want cost to be a factor in attending Kerusso. Scholarships are available. Send inquiries to kerusso@harding.edu

Kerusso will be capped at a maximum of 30 students per session, so please register early. The deadline for applications is June 13, 2026, or when capacity is reached.
