Education:
- Faith School of Ministry (FSOM) partners with Pathway, an online credentialing program with the Assemblies of God. In addition to online coursework, students will meet weekly for accountability, discussion, and further exploration of the material.
- Each level has 10 courses, and each course should be completed within a month.
- Expect four to five hours a week of coursework, plus the Sunday Morning discussion group.
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!
What is the cost?
- The total cost for the 10-month program is $750. This includes a 10-month subscription to Pathway Training, along with other resources and materials provided in the class. The Sunday morning discussion group is open to anyone for free, but no credit is conferred for it.
