Removing The "Dead Wood"
A lot of seminaries are known for costing a lot of money, taking a lot of time, and limiting training to an "elite few." We aren't anti-seminary here. A lot of our teachers have advanced ministry training. However, we know that the cost, time, and academics of seminary keep a lot of people from being equipped. Worse, plenty of seminaries have grown out of touch with hands-on ministry. While 15 year old girls are planting house churches in Iran, seminarians with 7 years of advanced training have never led anyone to Christ.
Underground Seminary cuts out a lot of academic testing models in favor of a discipleship-oriented approach. Tests and papers are limited. Feedback comes from your discipler/instructor through interaction (Voxer App) and some written assignments.
Perhaps more importantly, we don't waste time with lessons on how to do building campaigns or how to run a board meeting. Underground Seminary focuses on doctrine, apologetics, and discipleship, so that you have what you need for Kingdom Advancement without being weighed down by busy work.
