5 Reasons Why You Should Study Theology Online

And why Summer is a great time to start!

If you are like me, the craziness of your everyday routine sometimes stops you from doing things that you really enjoy. I know people who have been thinking about becoming a Bible College student for ages – and they really want to do it – but life just gets in the way and the plan keeps being pushed back year after year. If you are one of those people, studying theology online is the perfect solution!

A good way to take that first step is to look for Bible College units that interest you. You don’t even have to wait for next year - get started right away by enrolling for Summer School Online! Whether you have been thinking about studying the Bible & Theology for a while or you just have an interest in certain topics (like Mission, Preaching or Chaplaincy), here is why you should study Theology Online this summer:

1.      Test the waters

Not sure if the college is the right one for you? In doubt about the online platform and how engaging the online community will be? Afraid of the study load and how it fits in to your life? Try it out before making a bigger commitment. Start with one or two units and see how you go.

2.      Study fully Online and enjoy the summer

It is Summer! Go to the beach, lay on the hammock… As long as you have your computer or phone with you, you can study anywhere, anytime, online!

3.      Get a head start on your next year's study

If you decide to enrol in other units later to fully complete a course after the trial period, you can! The units you’ve done over Summer will count for full credit, and your next semester’s study load will be easier.

4.      Enjoy the best of both worlds

Study online through Australia’s largest online Bible, Ministry & Theology provider, and experience high quality content and the academic and pastoral support of our dedicated staff team - all from the comfort and convenience of your own home. 

5.      Connect with Christian Students

People were made for connections. Connect online with like-minded people who will help you to finish strong. Make new friends this summer!
