Course Syllabus - BA-02 - Effective Online Ministries

by Bill Anderton

The course is dedicated to building and operating effective online ministries in local churches, judicatories and other ministries of the Church.

This course is unique among all of the courses carried on TransformingTheChurch.org because it is a peer learning community. All of the material contained in the course is self-pace. Students are expected to come and go as needed.

The course is open to all and is made available without charge. Free registration is required but it only takes a minute or two to register. With registration, community members become a member of this special-interest community as well as the general-purpose Connected Community.

This online course contains several facets that are part of an ongoing effort to teach people about building and operating effective on-line ministries. The free aspects of this community are:

• Two blogs
• Episodic on-line free events
• Webinars
• Video tutorials
• Case studies
• Forums
• News
• Feature stories

Also, the course works synergistically with an up-coming series of fee-based courses on the same topic as well as some planned Ticketed Events. Participation in these fee-based aspects of the community will always be optional; participation by the community is hope for but certainly not required.

Fresh content and materials will be added to this community often, several times per week. Discussion in the forums will build over time and will begin happening daily very soon. Plan on dropping into the community at least several times per week in order to keep up.
