Distance Education Leading To Ordination (DELTO) is a means for providing off-campus education to seminary students who have been admitted to this certificate program. The DELTO Program seeks to address needs and opportunities for pastoral ministry in specialized situations. It provides contextual theological education leading to ordination for men who provide pastoral service to congregations, mission churches, or in situations where a full-time pastor or missionary cannot be supported.
