Further study
There are a number of options to pursue further study at Moore:
Study leave for ministry workers
Do you have at least one week study leave from your ministry position?
Moore College offers a ministers study leave program that you might enjoy. You can choose something to work on—e.g. Bible study material on Ephesians—and you would then meet up with a faculty member to discuss your work. You can also join the college community at chapel, and eat meals with students and faculty. You would have access to the library, and you would be able to attend any lectures.
