Fast Track
St. Michael Academy of Eschatology is proud to announce our online Fast Track program. This program is designed to prepare students quickly for leadership and ministry, with minimum expense, in minimum time, and with maximum effectiveness and maximum flexibility and convenience - all at once. We understand that academics are a tool for spiritual preparation, not the object of it. The focus of the Fast Track program is the mission, not learning in and of itself. You will find these courses to be lively, directed, uplifting, visionary, and well worth sharing. Some courses are useful for those offering Home Bible Studies and Fellowships. Others will work well for Classes in your local church. Be sure to also check out our "Opportunity" page because our Satellite Classes may also serve to raise funds for your church or missions.
