How will this Work?

Three  Levels

The class has three levels:
1) Doctoral 
2) Advanced Masters (ThM)
​3) Audit (personal enrichment)

All  Online

All classes will be available by streaming or for watching later. Everything can be done online.

Low Cost or Free

Audit is free. We will ask a small donation if you take the class for credit to pay our web expenses.

What is this all about?
Having served long-term in Southeast Asia and beyond, we saw the great work done by faithful Bible colleges and how it can transform churches. But we noticed a recurring need. Many colleges want to offer advanced courses on the ThM and PhD levels, both for their faculty and their students. It shouldn’t be necessary to move to the US to get advanced training.

That’s where our burden begins. We want to extend the mission of existing Bible colleges across the world by offering their faculty and advanced students a level of training that would normally cost thousands of dollars.

The class will last for 8 weeks. All lectures will be available online through streaming, video and audio and all other requirements will be submitted or fulfilled online.

The class is available on three levels with different requirements: 
(1) Doctoral, (2) Advanced Master's (Th.M.), and (3) audit. The fee is $100 (USD) or $10 for developing countries. Anyone can audit for free. Contact us if your school would like to incorporate this class into your curriculum. 

What's next?

Our goal is to explore the needs that exist for quality, advanced courses like this for pastors around the world. In many ways this class is our attempt to gauge interest and discover how we can better meet these needs. If you would be interested in learning more about our next steps, you can join our email list below. Don't worry—we'll be too busy teaching to cram your inbox. Thank you for your interest!

We want your help!

All teachers work on a strictly volunteer basis, but there are costs for what we do. If you feel so led, we would love your input and help to make this project a reality. Thanks!
