Thinking about attending Rock Bridge Seminary, wondering if anyone has gone there or heard much about them. I know they are not accredited yet. But it's all online, purpose driven, and cost only $115/hour. I'm thinking about getting my Master's in Divinity.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I guess it depends on why you are interested in earning the degree. If it is to be active in a particular denomination or church, you'd need to find out if their degree is recognized by whichever ministry you want to be a part of. Judging by their curriculum design, their program certainly seems oriented to train people for local pastoral-type ministry, and the requirements to earn their degrees seem reasonable, so hopefully you'd be able to demonstrate to whoever that the degree is actually valid and well earned. The faculty have almost all earned doctorate degrees from ATS accredited schools so that certainly counts in the school's favor.
A quick search reveals that Rockbridge is mentioned on Saddleback Church's site here:
http://www.saddlebackfamily.com/maturity/default.asp?sc=seminary
Apparently Rick Warren is a fan and recommends it to his church (Saddleback). Depending on what you think of Rick & PDL this may be a positive or negative
Here's an article on Pastors.com about it:
