MONTREAT, N.C. (AP) — Montreat College has partnered with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to offer a Preaching and Evangelism concentration as part of the school's Bible and Religion program.
The Asheville Citizen-Times (http://avlne.ws/1G4vflb ) reports Montreat professors will use a curriculum developed by the BGEA to teach some of the college-level courses. A news release says the classes will be offered online.
Rev. William Graham, vice president and associate evangelist at the BGEA and Montreat trustee, says the training will allow students in Asheville, Charlotte, and Black Mountain to get the same type of class and to get a very good course on evangelism, or how to share their faith.
The news release says the partnership is part of a larger connection between the school and Graham family, going back nearly 100 years.
