  1. Admission Process

    1. Goal:
      Enable anyone worldwide to learn the gospel systematically from home, without restrictions of time or place.

    2. Proposed procedure: Build an online admission system

    • (1) Provide an “Admission Application” form on the website (available by language: Korean/English/Spanish, etc.).

    • (2) Collect basic information: personal details, faith testimony, learning motivation, interest in Pauline theology, etc.

      • Conduct a brief faith interview (non-face-to-face video interview or written interview).

    • (3) Confirm faith, assess any heterodox/cultic tendencies, and verify sincere ministry motivation.
      After acceptance, the student selects a track.

    • (4) New students can start with a “Basic Bible Course,” while pastors or seminary-level students may enter an “Advanced Track.”

  1. Exams & Assessment

    1. Principle:
      Focus on understanding the gospel and the ability to apply it in real life, rather than memorization.

    2. Assessment methods:

    • (1) Stage-by-stage quizzes and essay evaluations
      ① Quiz: 5–10 questions after each lecture (multiple-choice / true-false)
      ② Essay: How the lecture content will be applied to one’s life and ministry

    • Final project
      ③ Practice-oriented tasks such as sermon manuscript writing, designing family worship, summarizing evangelism materials, etc.

    • Use an online auto-grading system together with professor feedback.

    Tuition Policy

    1. Principle:
      The gospel is free, but training requires commitment—so operate through voluntary sponsorship or a ministry training fund.

    2. Three models:

    • A. Free tuition, optional sponsorship
      ① Anyone may enroll; classes are free.
      ② After completion, students may voluntarily donate or sponsor scholarships.

    • B. Low-cost tuition model (with scholarships included)
      ③ A small enrollment/tuition system including scholarships
      ④ Suggested tuition: $30–$50 per month
      ⑤ Operate a sponsorship system for scholarships (seniors, the Global South/third-world regions, under-resourced ministers).

    • C. Church/organization sponsorship partnership
      Churches or mission organizations register members in batches and provide group support.

    Degree Program

    1. Goal:
      Provide appropriate authority and trust for each person’s ministry through formal completion certificates/degrees grounded in orthodox theology.

    2. Degree structure by program:
