Welcome to COSWV
The West Virginia Extension is for Part-time Local Pastors – except through special arrangements by the GBHEM. We are unique in that we provide a retreat setting and students are permitted to take up to two classes per term. Each course within the five year Course of Study paradigm is offered during the same term each year. Each class is a 20-hour educational experience.
