The local church is always the primary consideration of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. Providing training for busy ministers and lay workers is always a challenge.
Diversity is the key here.
The trail that Liberty blazed in the 1980s was that of videotaped courses. Liberty was the first accredited seminary in the nation to offer degree programs in a distance format. Currently we still find that many students prefer receiving their course lectures on videotape, and we therefore continue with this format. This summer, Dr. Dan Mitchell and Dr. Ron Giese, our two associate deans, will both launch courses using this Internet course manager, supplemented by videotapes. This innovative educational tool will have a continuing influence on our education efforts.
