EQUIP - Bible Online

Harding's Equip - Bible Online in Bible and Ministry recognizes that many adult and non-traditional learners would like to advance their knowledge and skills in religious education but need a variety of options to fit complex lives. The CDE provides training and education appropriate for students entering into full-time or volunteer religious vocations. By designing a degree program for online students in addition to our current on-campus community for adult majors in Bible, Harding provides ministry education opportunities to students who are place-bound or need an alternative to a full-time degree on the main campus. Students are also able to connect with their broader learning community through our own chapel service, which is available on campus and online. We would love to provide you with more Equip information or help you through the Enrollment Process.
