Where do the Fellows live?
Fellows live with host families from Second Presbyterian Church who provide free room and board! Every year, our Fellows share that their host family was one of their favorite aspects of the program. Host families provide a wonderful opportunity for the Fellows to experience life with people striving to serve Christ in the midst of their own challenges, joys, and failures.
Family dynamics range from empty-nesters to families with young kids to families with older kids. If you have specific requests or needs, you will be able to talk with our Fellows Director about accommodations.
What if I am considering graduate school or pursuing a career in medicine?
We have work placements that would prepare you for graduate school or for a career in medicine. We have had many Fellows use these nine-months as a great foundation before going back to school!
Contact Reid Wesson, our Work Placement Chair, if you have questions.

The tuition for the 2PC Fellows Program is $6,700. The tuition may be paid by the Fellow or may be raised in the same way support is raised for a mission trip. Upon request each Fellow receives a fundraising packet after their acceptance into the program.
Each Fellow is housed with a host family from the church community. Room and board are provided at no cost and living expenses are further offset by the wages the Fellows earn in their work placements.
Tuition covers 10 retreat fees and expenses, coursework and textbooks, spiritual inventory testing and consultation with counselors, weekly round-table dinners, weekly Friday breakfasts, administrative expenses, as well as many other events and times the Fellows are together.
How much does the program cost?
Yes, scholarships are available based on financial need, a Fellow’s ability to support raise for the program, and on an individual basis. Contact Deb Coleman at (901) 289-3379 for more information.
