Advancing student spiritual formation, the process through which an individual accepts Jesus Christ as Savior and continually becomes more like Him, is one of the most important goals of Christian education. When distance education became more prevalent with the advent of the internet, many assumed that spiritual formation could not be accomplished without face-to-face interactions. Over the last decade, research has demonstrated that, in higher education, this is not the case. Online learners at seminaries and Christian institutions of higher education are experiencing spiritual formation that is as effective, if not more effective, as their brick-and-mortar counterparts (Lowe, 2010; Naidoo, 2011, 2015; Nichols, 2015). Distance learning theories, including Equivalency Theory and the Community Learning Model, propose that accomplishing affective goals such as spiritual formation is possible at a distance. The research on spiritual formation in high school distance education is sorely lacking. Moore (2011) conducted groundbreaking research on the "most common teacher characteristics that relate to intentionality in student spiritual formation" in traditional face-to-face classrooms. In this study, Moore gave meaningful guidance to teachers in K-12 Christian schools as to what behaviors are viewed as most related to intentional spiritual formation. This study replicated Moore's study, but with Christian high school teachers teaching at a distance. Moore's 2011 survey (Appendix A) replicated and sent to teachers who teach online Christian high school courses. Online learning for high school students is here to stay. If they are to stay true to the fundamental mission of Christian education, Christian schools face the challenge of taking spiritual formation seriously in an online medium.
