How To Register Your Brigade Unit

Renew if: you’ve already registered here on brigade Leader. All your previous year's information will be carried through.

Register if: your Unit has never been registered here on Brigade Leader, EVEN IF YOU’VE BEEN A UNIT FOR DECADES, register here so your unit and all it’s information will be saved in our system for easy future renewal.

The cost is the same to register for the first time or to renew your unit membership. We have tiered pricing based on the number of leaders you have in your unit. 

When Registering:

• Select the "unit size" drop-down with the number of leaders you aticipate in your unit
• On the next page you will see the pricing based on the tier chosen

When Renewing: 

• If you are renewing you will be automatically given the same tier you had last year. 
• If you need to decrease or increase the tier please register and then let us know you need to change and we will make the change on the backend for you and will refund or charge the difference depending on your need.

The “Unit Registrar” is the only member of your unit who can renew the unit. This is usually the person who did the original unit registration.

You can find out who the Unit registrar is by entering your unit number in the serch box at the bottom of the renew section. If you don't recognize the results, the Unit Registrar is often the Unit Chairman, or a key leader, or a church staff person.
