Soon after the establishment of CES, we have developed the system of Theological Education by Extension (TEE). Up to now, it has a history of 36 years, and its contribution is recognized by many of the churches. From 1995 to 2004, each year we have an average enrollment of 2,911 students. In 2005, we experienced an increase of 18.4% (2,557 students). The number of students has further reached to 2,911 (person-time) in 2008. Though these new students mainly come from overseas countries and the work in Taiwan is difficult, we thanks God that we achieve a diversified development in Taiwan. Apart from the online courses, we run programs along the railway line, including Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung. For the part of Taipei, we offer courses in the Main Campus as well as Taipei Wesley Methodist Church and Good News Church.

Even if the TEE system has developed quite a tradition and scale, with the changes in the situation of churches, it is no longer the only course available. As long as more churches begin to promote different equipping course, the TEE program would be more aware of the needs of contemporary society. On one hand, we seek to keep teaching the timeless truth, on the other hand, to offer courses which are more enriching, lively, systematic and culturally relevant. Please pray for the TEE program, so that it can equip both local and overseas believers to serve in churches as ministers.
