Religious Education FAQ

Before we speak concerning the merits of our program, let us first say that unlike many organizations offering religion courses via released-time education, ours is fully accredited (SACS-CASI). Because of this, we are held to a higher standard than most competing organizations and the integrity of our program is regularly monitored.

Our courses stand out from many others in that we do not stress individual denominational doctrine, but approach our subjects academically and as objectively as possible.
