How to Study Theology Online While Pastoring Your Church
Practical advice for busy pastors who want rigorous biblical training without leaving their congregation. Learn how BBA's online model works.
Many of our students are active pastors, missionaries, and marketplace leaders. You do not need to abandon your pulpit to deepen your training.
Most BBA students study 8–12 hours per week. Lectures are asynchronous, so you watch when your schedule allows — early morning, late evening, or between midweek services.
What you learn on Monday can shape your sermon on Sunday. That immediate application is one of the greatest strengths of studying while you serve.
If cost is a concern, apply for a scholarship when you enrol in a degree programme. Free diplomas and certificates are also available if you want to begin without degree tuition.
