Sunset Satellite Schools

Click here to download a copy of the latest Satellite School Handbook. Because of recent changes and additions to our Satellite School program, a new edition of the Satellite School Handbook has been published. We encourage all of our current administrators and other interested parties to download this latest version, or call us to request a printed copy. Additions and changes include details about the bachelors degree program,* updated costs and fees, a current list of textbooks and other materials required for each course, and our expanded course offerings.

*Credits toward degrees are not granted in states in which our degree program is not recognized or authorized. Satellite administrators are advised to check with their state higher education board.

This is a question I am asked very often. Actually, no, you cannot have too many satellite schools within a local area. Here are the reasons why. The satellite school  program and its curriculum are flexible enough to be  tailored to the specific needs and goals of each congregation. Suppose one congregation needs to train some to teach or to equip future teachers through a deeper  level of study of God’s word. So, they decide that to do this most effectively, a Wednesday evening class  should be conducted because this is the most convenient time  for those involved. Suppose another congregation wants to  use the program to teach and ground new Christians in the  faith. So, they have decided to streamline their studies for  that purpose and make it a part of their community evangelism. Still another congregation sees the need to reach those on the outer fringe. So, they use Sunday  mornings to re-introduce Christ to members who have lost  their way. The purposes for these satellite schools are  different and they may not all intend to bring other  congregations together. Instead, they are specialized and  structured for different needs. This way, two or three  congregations may be within twenty minutes of each other and each one be involved with a satellite school of their own. What specialized area of ministry needs special  attention in your congregation? The satellite school program can offer that special needed  energy, organization, materials, and opportunity to assist in achieving your goals.
