Real-time Interaction via Online LIVE

Online LIVE courses provide the opportunity for students to engage in gospel-centered transformation in real-time, with teachers and students interacting through a video conferencing platform, such as Zoom.

These classes typically meet for an hour every week, during late weekday afternoons or Saturday mornings.

Standard Online Courses With World-Class Faculty

We understand that family, ministry, and work priorities can make attending live classes a challenge. Standard online courses allow you to watch course lectures whenever you want, while encouraging asynchronous interaction with students and faculty. Here are several course previews that offer a taste of the rich catalog of content available to online students.

Threshold

Threshold is a unique, week-long opportunity for students to complete multiple courses at our Portland Campus. It is offered every semester and is especially designed to provide community and mentorship for those online students who may not live in Portland.

In addition to their class time, students share meals together with faculty and staff, and enjoy optional excursions in Portland.
