Because Saddleback Church fills so many of its staff positions from within our church family, we needed an innovative way to train people without sending them away to seminary for years. Rockbridge Seminary's TOTALLY ONLINE FORMAT provided the answer we needed. It allows on-the-job ministry training, which we've found far more effective than the old academic model. Rockbridge is the FUTURE OF GLOBAL SEMINARY EDUCATION - but it is available to you now! Rick Warren, Pastor of Saddleback Community Church Author, The Purpose Driven Life Seminary Programs: Master of Divinity (76 credit hours) Master of Ministry Leadership (52 credit hours) Diploma in Ministry Studies (39 credit hours)
