Christian Schools and Virtual Bible Schools
Please feel free to reach out to us through the Contact Page. We are more than happy to engage in a discussion about how we may be of assistance.
The Lord commands us to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations….teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” Matthew 28:19-20. As we know, it is not only a command, it is a blessing to share the gospel. With the existing technology of online access, you can offer biblical instruction without State or Country borders for a relatively small investment. I was a founding member of an online Bible School which has attracted students from various countries as well as locally. If you are a Church or an existing Christian School and would like to talk about policies around instructor salaries, retirement and benefit programs, philanthropic policies or developing an online presence, or interested in starting up or enhancing your existing Bible School, feel free to contact us for a consultation.
