Graduation Time at Logos

This will be a busy week for Logos. We have two of our church-based Bible institutes with scheduled graduations. One here in Jacksonville at Celebration Church, the other in West Palm Beach at Concilio Cristo Mi Redentor (Christ My Redeemer Church). The latter is hosting a graduation for our South Florida, Universidad Cristiana Logos (Logos Christian University) graduates. An exciting time indeed!

We have individual students completing their educations year round. Some choose to have their degrees or diplomas mailed to them without a formal graduation while others participate in graduation ceremonies hosted in churches, banquet halls or hotels. Logos is not a conventional brick and mortar institution as our students are scattered all over the country and for that matter, the world.

Some of our students take classes through distance education. They are assigned to a Mentor/Program Director, their courses are mailed to them and as they complete their work, it is turned in, graded and credit is given. Classes can be taken anytime and students work at their own pace.

Others participate in more structured classes usually hosted by churches. Semesters are scheduled at times that are more convenient for them and the programs often have an internship or practicum that makes up part of the curriculum. Attending classes year round can fast track a student to finish their degrees in far less time than if they attended more conventional venues. It's an extraordinary way to equip people for ministry.

The hearts of those of us who are faculty or administration swell with godly pride every time one of our students earns their degree. If you would like to learn more about our ministry training opportunities or know of someone who would like information, please help us get the word out by telling them to log on to our website and we'll send them some information. "The harvest is white, but the laborers are few . . ." We're trying to do something about that.
