The training material on BiblicalEldership.com is organized in two different ways:
- The Effectiveness section of the website has 200+ free videos with outlines and discussion questions. Use them at random and at your own pace—there’s no cost or commitment.
- The six-course School of the Shepherds (SOTS) online curriculum combines some of the Effectiveness material with exclusive new material. With progress tracking, graded quizzes, and completion certificates, it encourages commitment—perfect for formal leadership, missionary, and local church elder training.
