A SALT course includes online lectures with PowerPoint, online discussions, group projects, and other assignments, readings, and resources – all based on a website devoted to that course. Once a week, students will meet together with an on-site mentor here at Coastal Church to discuss how to apply principles learned within their local context.

Upon completion of five SALT courses, students are eligible to receive a “Certificate of Ministry” from HOPE University.
