Professional Development for Ordained and Commissioned Ministers is a primary dimension of the virtual campus. Those who enroll in the courses, seminars, and projects of the Christian College are connected with each other in a common ministry, but their experience of community with each other is enhanced by a common focus.
Preparation for Ministry for those in the Track for Commissioned Ministry or the Alternative-to-Seminary Track for Ordained Ministry is accomplished through the development of specified skills and competencies for Ministry in the Christian Church. Christian College offers personalize guidance in the creation of the "Ministerial Preparation Portfolio" while contributing to the development of competencies through a curriculum which is intentionally aligned with the many resources available throughout the country, particularly those courses available through other Institutions or Regions of the Church.
