I would try looking online for free online bible colleges...  You might take some classes yourself & see what you think... If your church had a computer you could teach it from there...  Just a thought sis...*hugs*

Hey, My Sister,

There are several routes you can go. Harvest Time has a free institute program. I cannot testify to the qualitity of their materials. Here is their link:

http://www.harvestime.org/index.htm

Also, Freedom Bible College & Seminary, which has been around for a while now, and seems very good, is offering the opportunity to start satellite schools. This is NOT free, but worth looking into. They offer a good, comprehensive curriculum, but there is much propaganda for the director's views. Still, it's a good school, and they are accreditated. You will find the link for "start your own school" on the right hand side of the screen.

http://www.freedomministries.com/college.html

This one is for church groups, but I think anyone with 10 or more students can apply. Worth checking out. Not Free.

http://www.faithbibleinstitute.com/

You know, it's perfectly legitimate to put together your own curriculum from good materials, and offer a certificate. We were going to do that the first year after we started New Covenant. I ended up getting divorced a year or two later, so I never got it off the ground, but if you are ordained and have a church charter (and especially as I know that you have a degree of your own), you can teach Bible study programs for a certificate, or even for an honorary degree. I did not want to offer the honorary degree, so I couldn't be lumped in with the document mills, but I offered a certificate for completing a very difficult course of study. It was going to be a comprehensive, graded program with a research paper, not a fill-in-the blank correspondence course. It's something to think about.

God bless.

One of my favorites is Nations University.  As I recell the President is named "Bob". 
Go to the website and email him... tell him what you want to do and I am most sure He would be more than happy to assist.

The Harvestime courses are awesome. They seem to have a nondenominational approach to teaching. I have enjoyed them greatly. You can purchase all of the courses on cd from Harvestime International for $50. It is a great investment.

One of the great strengths of UCFM is when someone is inspired to try something in obedience to God's direction there are those who can provide support and information.
In the day of higher education that is opposed to anything about God we need more Bible colleges.
Good luck and God bless your efforts.
