It’s my privilege to announce a late luncheon with the theme “Advancing the Gospel through Online Learning” at the upcoming Forum14 conference at Welch College. This event will be held Monday, March 10, at 1:30 p.m.

At Welch College, our mission is to educate leaders to serve Christ, His Church, and His world through Biblical thought and life. This mission is repeated in our catalogs, syllabi, and website. It’s reiterated in chapel services, classes, and promotional events.

A good mission statement communicates through what it does not say as well as through what it says. Notice that our mission does not limit itself to people who can live in a dorm and attend classes during the workday.

We have designed our online programs with the adult learner in mind—that working adult who desires ministry training on the associate’s or bachelor’s degree level, or who wants to complete an associate’s degree in business or general studies for professional advancement, or individuals who just want to complete that degree they never finished.

Through Internet technology, we’re bringing the classroom to you, to help you succeed in finding your place in fulfilling this great mission. Finally, there’s a way to receive the quality Christian education you desire in a way that’s flexible—100% online—with hands-on faculty and support staff. And what’s more, it’s affordable, with full financial aid opportunities available.

In just a few weeks, on March 9-11, Welch College will host its Forum14 conference. Servants of God from around the world will speak on important issues. Workshops and seminars will provide opportunities to deal with a number of ministry issues. I invite you to attend the “Advancing the Gospel through Online Learning” luncheon Monday, March 10, at 1:30.

If you are interested in a fully accredited, Bible-based degree program, this is for you. You probably know of people in your congregation who could become more effective in their work in the local church through this kind of program. If you’d like to attend, let us know (luncheon space is limited), using the contact link or envelope icon above.

I look forward to seeing you there!
