The Learning Environment

There are five key aspects to the XPastor Online Courses. These make it easy and practical to become grounded in the various disciplines of being a church leader.

Interaction—Participate in regularly scheduled webinars or watch later.

Analysis—Pertinent topics and discussion help you analyze ministry. This brings direct benefit to your church.

Reading—The required reading enhances your understanding and increases your breadth of knowledge.

Location—You can learn at the office or at home—make your own schedule. As a self-guided course, you also study at your own pace.

Assignments—Each course has practical work that impacts your church. Each assignment will be evaluated by the professor. You can audit a class and not do the homework.

Team Study

Each course allows for teams to learn, study and do the assignments together. For example, a church leader may want key staff and volunteers in the Communications Department to join her/him for the course on Communications. This can be an excellent method to raise the bar and thinking of a department in your church. Also, leaders from a church or region may desire to band together for one or more courses. Pastors in a multisite church may desire to go through the entire process together. Each person on the team must enroll in the course. Each person will receive continuing education credit and a grade for that course. Each person must integrally participate in every assignment; teams cannot dole out assignments to various members. Work that is turned in by a team must be at an even higher caliber than assignments by individuals.
