DANGEROUS | Fit to Lead BIP
This Program is Not for the Weak.
Batterer Intervention Program — Fee Schedule & Payment Policies
Cross Strength Ministries provides DANGEROUS | Fit to Lead BIP, a Scripture-saturated Batterer Intervention Program designed to confront abusive behavior, demand personal accountability, and call men to genuine repentance and responsible conduct.
The program requires 28 qualifying intervention sessions, together with all required reading, written assignments, behavioral exercises, and facilitator reviews.
This is a 28-session program.
All instruction is conducted online through Zoom. Instructional pacing is individualized, with an anticipated completion period of 10–28 weeks depending upon court-orders and jurisdictional requirements.
Completion time is not guaranteed.

2. Flexible Enrollment & Payment Options
We recognize that financial circumstances differ. Participants may select from the following payment arrangements:
- Option A — Full Payment: $1,310, including all 28 sessions and required materials.
- Option B — Five-Session Block: $300 initially, including five sessions and required materials. Additional sessions are purchased separately.

The total program cost varies according to the selected payment arrangement. Full prepayment offers a discounted total compared with purchasing every session individually.
Payments may be made through PayPal, Venmo, or an approved invoice or payment link. All payments, completed sessions, and remaining prepaid session credits are documented.
3. Attendance & Cancellation Policy
Participants are responsible for arriving on time for scheduled Zoom sessions and notifying Cross Strength Ministries promptly of a scheduling conflict. No admission is permitted more than 10 minutes after a session begins. Oversleeping, failing to appear, or arriving more than 10 minutes late without a documented medical emergency or other documented emergency approved by Cross Strength Ministries is an unexcused missed session. The attendance reinstatement and replacement-session fees described below apply.
- 24 hours or more notice: No cancellation fee.
- Less than 24 hours’ notice: Unless a documented emergency is approved, cancellation that results in a missed session is subject the absence fee, session replacement fee, and reinstatement fee.
- Session replacement fee: $50
- Attendance Reinstatement Fee: $25
- Unexcused absence, oversleeping, or arrival more than 10 minutes late: No session credit; original $50 session payment forfeited; $25 attendance reinstatement fee required for rescheduled meeting, and $50 replacement-session fee required to resume and make up that session ($75 due).
- Documented emergencies: A medical emergency or another documented emergency approved by Cross Strength Ministries may be excused from the unexcused-absence penalties at the Program Director’s discretion.
- Ministry cancellations or ministry technology failures: No cancellation fee will be assessed.
We Take Accountability Seriously!
Do NOT be late. Do NOT miss your scheduled appointment.
Unexcused missed-session consequences:
The original $50 session payment is forfeited, and the session earns no intervention credit.
To return to the program and make up that session, the participant owes a $25 attendance reinstatement fee. This is a total financial impact of $125, including the original forfeited session payment; if that original session was already paid, an additional $75 is due.
A replacement session must still be completed to receive credit.
This attendance reinstatement is separate from readmission following formal discharge.
Missed required sessions must be rescheduled and completed according to program policies and applicable court requirements.
Repeated absences may result in termination from the program.
4. Suspension, Termination & Reinstatement
Participants who fail to comply with attendance requirements, assignments, conduct standards, or other program obligations may be suspended or terminated.
Reinstatement following formal termination is not automatic.
Formal discharge and readmission: Discharge for intoxication, habitual noncompliance, serious misconduct, or another significant violation is different from an unexcused absence. After formal discharge, Cross Strength Ministries will review any request for readmission and may consult the probation officer, court, or other persons or agencies it deems appropriate. Only if readmission is approved does the separate $150 formal reinstatement fee apply, subject to applicable law and the participant’s signed agreement. Cross Strength Ministries makes the final program readmission decision; payment does not guarantee approval.
The Program Director retains authority to review reinstatement requests, participant suitability, safety concerns, and compliance with program requirements.
Payment of a reinstatement fee does not guarantee readmission.
5. Refund Policy
This program is non-refundable.
6. Additional Sessions & Individualized Pacing
The standard program requires 28 qualifying intervention sessions.
Additional qualifying sessions may be required because of an applicable court order, jurisdictional requirement, or an individualized intervention assessment.
When additional sessions are required, participants will receive a written plan and advance notice of the applicable charges.
Unless a different amount is agreed upon in writing, additional qualifying sessions cost $50 each.
There is no additional session charge solely because a participant requires more calendar time to complete independent assignments. Extended Zoom review time does not automatically create an additional intervention session or charge.
7. Completion Requirements
Payment, attendance, or the submission of written assignments does not automatically constitute satisfactory program completion.
Participants must:
- Complete all 28 qualifying intervention sessions and any additional legally required sessions.
- Complete all assigned DANGEROUS and Fit to Lead curriculum materials.
- Complete all written assignments, behavioral exercises, and Responsibility Plan requirements.
- Participate in facilitator-led discussions and demonstrate satisfactory understanding.
- Comply with program conduct, attendance, accountability, and applicable legal requirements.
All assigned work must be reviewed and approved by the facilitator before new materials are assigned.
Program completion does not guarantee rehabilitation, reconciliation, restoration of trust, custody, parenting time, or any particular court outcome.
8. Court-Ordered Participants
Participants referred by a court, probation department, or other supervising authority must provide applicable referral documents before admission.
Acceptance of DANGEROUS | Fit to Lead, its online Zoom format, and its session structure must be verified with the appropriate court or authorized authority before court-compliant completion credit can be promised.
Where applicable requirements mandate a longer calendar period, additional sessions, or a different instructional format, those requirements govern.
