Whether you are looking for continuing education, education for rostering or certification in your synod or the ELCA, you don't need to go it alone — or even create your own class.

Select knows that people learn better when they are supported and enriched by other learners and a facilitator. Learners have often expressed concern about being able to pull together a small group for a Select class or get a pastor to commit to facilitate.

To serve you better, Select has piloted — and is now ready to offer — online companion courses! Courses from Select's catalog will be used and enhanced with online learning components and a qualified facilitator will host the online learning.
 

In February 2008, SELECT will host the following online offerings:

●    Interpreting the Old Testament ●   Lutheran Heritage ●   Systematic Theology ●   Spirituality: Invitation to a Closer Relationship with God ●   Sent to Preach ●   Evangelization and Lutheran Worship ●   Money Leadership

Courses provide quality resource materials, including videos, readings, and a study guide which leads the group through the course. While it is usually preferable to study with a small group, SELECT courses are sold to and used by individuals.

SELECT Courses are designed to

• Provide new information through the video presentation and reading resources. Group discussion will help inform, clarify, enlighten and influence the mind.
• Build supportive relationships among persons in the study group.
• Begin a process of integrating the new learning into the practice of daily ministry.
