Requirements to join:

-> Falling Forward ("FF") is run as a closed group — applications close once the group commences. -> Places are limited and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis — if your application arrives after a group is full, we'll suggest a later course when space is available. -> You are required to invite a companion into this process — a trusted male from your church or faith community who will walk alongside you and help you apply what you're learning through the teaching and small group. You'll share with this person weekly. They should be available to join the Falling Forward course online for one hour each week to watch the teaching portion (after which they'll log off), and you'll then schedule a separate time to meet with them following each session. More details will be covered in an orientation discussion before the course begins. (For more information, see "Guidelines for Companions".) -> You must actively participate in the small group and commit to your weekly companion meeting. Regular attendance is essential — you may not miss more than one session. If you anticipate exceeding this, please let us know in advance; we won't be able to include you in this course, but would be glad to recommend you for a future one. -> Children and infants are not permitted to accompany parents during any sessions.

VENUE:

Online, via Zoom.

ORIENTATION DISCUSSION:

You may be required to undergo a telephonic or online orientation discussion once your completed application form has been received. You will be contacted to schedule a convenient time for this discussion.

COST: The cost for the FF is R800. Of this, a deposit of R350 is required with the completed application form. Please send a proof of payment of the deposit with your application form. Upon acceptance to the FF course, the remaining R450 must be paid in full by 30 November 2026 (unless a prior payment plan arrangement has been made).

The closing date for all applications to the FF course will be Monday, 21 September 2026.
