The Chinese Online School of Theology (COST, 漢語網絡神學院) has announced its second-quarter advanced courses for 2025, designed to offer opportunities for spiritual growth and ministry training to pastors and believers worldwide. Full-time pastors, rural missionaries, homemakers, and financial professionals alike can participate in online courses, learning anytime and anywhere in response to God’s calling.

Flexible Online Learning for Comprehensive Ministry Training

In today’s fast-paced world, many brothers and sisters miss opportunities for theological education due to professional and family commitments. COST addresses these challenges by offering flexible learning options, enabling students to gain deep theological knowledge and ministry skills without disrupting their daily lives.

The second-quarter courses for 2025 cover a wide range of subjects, including theology, biblical studies, church history, worship studies, and family ministry, catering to the diverse needs of believers. Students can choose from Scripture-focused courses like The Book of Amos and The Book of Isaiah, as well as practical courses such as Premarital and Marriage Counseling and Spiritual Formation. For advanced learners, the seminary offers higher-level courses, including Discipleship Training: Being a Disciple of Christ in the 21st Century and The Theory and Practice of Christian Education Ministry.

Responding to the Call Toward Greater Service

COST emphasizes that every believer can become a more efficient and capable servant of God through proper training. Whether preparing for pastoral ministry, leading worship, or developing family ministry in the church, students can experience holistic growth through these courses. The seminary encourages believers to seek God’s guidance through prayer, set their hearts on service, and pursue the goal of more fruitful ministry.
