Unique position to serve

Rockbridge Seminary is uniquely positioned to serve the missional renaissance for two reasons.

First, the missional church requires leadership that is engaged with the culture as missionaries. Packing up and leaving your ministry assignment in order to receive leadership development makes no sense at all. You want training and education delivered right to you where you are when you need it. Second, non-clergy missionaries want theological training to fulfill their role as leaders of the Christian movement in the marketplace. Rockbridge can provide this delivery through its online studies.

Rockbridge is not the seminary of the future; it is the seminary for now.

Dr. Reggie McNeal is Missional Leadership Specialist for Leadership Network in Dallas, Texas. His books A Work of Heart: Understanding How God Shapes Spiritual Leaders and The Present Future are used in Rockbridge Seminary classes.

    I agree with Dr. McNeal’s comments.
    Receiving “on the job” theological training provides great opportunities
    to apply biblical principles in practical ways right away.

    I will always be thankful for having studied at Rockbridge Seminary.
