What is Online Christian Learning?

ChurchNext is an online learning tool designed for those who want to grow in their knowledge of Christ. Each course takes about 45 minutes to work through and is taught by an expert who has written and/or studied extensively on the subject. Each course begins with an invitation to community, journey through the material using videos, bible studies, discussion forums, and quizzes, then suggest ways students can continue their learning adventure.
