Greetings,

The beginning phase of the Tomlinson Center is now in place and we are excited about what the future holds for a new educational entity for the Churches of God of Prophecy. The advisory board for the Tomlinson Center unanimously agreed that launching the Tomlinson Center Online is the first step in the right direction. This approach immediately gives us global coverage and because we are partnering with Lee University we are also fully accredited from the very beginning. We have already sent applications to interested students in Africa, Spain, and many of the Caribbean nations.

The first two courses will be taught by Dr. H.E. Cardin, overseer of Georgia, and Tim Harper, overseer of Indiana/Michigan. Dr. Cardin will be teaching Synoptic Gospels and Tim Harper will be teaching Pastoral Epistles. These classes will begin on January 11, 2006. All appointed ministry qualify for a 50% scholarship. This includes not only you as pastor, but any leadership in your local church of whom you have appointed to lead a ministry.

Enrolling in the Tomlinson Center Online (TCOL) will sharpen your ministry skills for leading in the 21st Century church. After completing the program the student will be awarded a bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry. (If you already have some college hours, you can transfer them into this program.*) If you are not degree focused at this time, you will be awarded ministry certificates at certain levels of accomplishment. Beyond the recognition for work completed is the knowledge and insight gained as a student of biblical studies.

To enroll in the Tomlinson Center Online simply print out and complete the application. Be sure to sign and date the application and then mail it to the Lee University address provided. The application fee should also be sent with the application.

If you have any questions, please contact me by phone or email: (423) 559-5323; marvin@cogop.org.

Scholarship with Spirit,

Marvin Eskew

Interim Director Tomlinson Center
