This study aimed to explore how character formation educational outcomes are achieved through online education in students preparing for church leadership. This research was a qualitative descriptive case study conducted at a fully decentralized higher education institution in Europe, among its primary stakeholders: graduates, students, faculty, and local administrators. The findings of this study supported the proposals from the literature that character formation outcomes can be achieved through online education. Therefore, character formation requires appropriate structures and teaching methodologies to foster community, instructors who effectively use pedagogical and interpersonal practices in their classes, and a robust mentoring program supporting the whole educational endeavor.
