“My overall course experience has been very positive. I am enjoying the readings and am receiving good information in the online presentations.” - Amy H., Highlands Ranch, CO USA
“Online learning is really the way to go for me. I have taken one Berean course in the recent past and I felt so disconnected - without the support I now get here at CMUO. The conversation and feedback is so valuable to me as a learner and the information is more relevant than Berean.” - Kelly N., Westerville, OH USA
“Thank you so very much for creating and producing a course that addresses the practical side of children's ministry. I never expected to learn so much about so many things in just one course, and I am not even done it yet! This course has truly been an eye-opener for me and has taught me many tips and lessons that I will not soon forget!” - Katherina A., Cobourg, ON Canada
