Weekly Bible School- Sundays at 9:00 AM

This program is designed for anyone who feels called to ministry, whether in a vocational capacity or simply in their daily lives. We believe that every Christian has a role to play in fulfilling the Great Commission and sharing the gospel with the world. *Weekly Bible School is open to anyone, free of charge, without the need to register for a course. Ideal for those interested in exploring the program or seeking to delve deeper into the Bible without enrolling in a for-credit course.

Education: Faith School of Ministry (FSOM) partners with Pathway and Global University, both credentialing programs with the Assemblies of God. In addition to online coursework, students will meet weekly for accountability, discussion, and further exploration of the material.
Application: In addition to academic learning, students will learn to apply their coursework through ministry internships, apprenticing in leadership in the area of ministry in which they feel called. They will also have opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus through special events and outreaches.

What makes FSOM unique? 
  • Accountability and support of peers and leaders: Credentialing is possible through Pathway alone or other avenues like Berean or PDSOM, but Faith School of Ministry provides weekly check-ins and assistance, where your growth will exponentially increase through weekly discussions and the support and encouragement of your peers and leaders.
  • Personal spiritual oversight and guidance: As an FSOM student, you will be assigned a mentor to guide you through your life and the purpose God has planned for you. You will have regular one-on-one meetings with your mentor, who can help shape you, answer questions, offer support, and empower you to represent the best of Jesus.
  • Hands-on opportunities to lead and serve: The biggest difference in participating through FSOM is hands-on ministry. You will have opportunities to serve and specialize where you feel called. Lead small groups, learn to preach, coordinate, and brainstorm ministry events and initiatives. There will also be outreaches getting us outside the walls to serve our community, nation, and world!
