  • Flexibility - We know that no two youth groups are the same, and that's why we build Coleader with flexibility in mind. Our unique Magic Swap feature allows users find and use an alternative series anytime they think a particular series doesn't quite match up with the needs of their group. Plus, the Coleader platform makes rearranging, adding, and editing service elements easier than ever!

How do credits work?

keyboard_arrow_down

Each Coleader subscription works on a system of credits that can be exchanged for any series or event on our store. When you first purchase a Coleader subscription, we will add one year's worth of credits to your account, and because Coleader is built for flexibility, you can exchange your credits for any series or event on the Coleader store. That way, you only pay for what you actually use!

Here are few more details about credits that might be helpful:

  • Credits can be used on any resource on the Coleader store.
    A great way to find your next series or event is by visiting the Coleader Explore Page.
  • Credits expire after 1 year.
    All credits expire 365 days after they are purchased, so be sure to use them all before your subscription renews.
  • You'll get more credits when your subscription renews.
    Your Coleader subscription will automatically renew every year on the anniversary of the day it was first purchased. If you would like to make changes to your subscription or update the card that we have on file, please feel free to reach out to support@coleader.co anytime!
  • You can always get more credits by purchasing a credit pack.
    In addition to our annual subscriptions, you can also purchase credits in 40-credit or 100-credit increments by visiting our pricing page and clicking on the button that says "Credit Packs."

Does Coleader provide parent and volunteer resources?

What Bible translation does Coleader use?

We chose the New Living Translation of the Bible for its readability and understandability, especially for middle school and high school readers.
