Ideally, anyone would have access to the course materials so that even those who could not afford tuition might enhance their ministries. Only enrolled students would receive tutoring, have personal access to the teacher, have work monitored and corrected and earn credit upon completion of the course. The resources are available and the need is clear. Wise stewardship of current technology makes it possible for Christian educational institutions to respond to social trends by offering superior pastoral education in ways that benefit the seminary, the student and the church. Beyond pastoral education lie opportunities in leadership training, staff development, ministry conferences and discipleship training.
Imagination alone limits the possibilities.
