SCHOOL OF MINISTRY

The purpose of “School of Ministry” is to train
and equip students for Christian life service.
(Ephesians 4:12)

The School of Ministry is a 1-2 year program designed to
provide students with the tools they need to succeed
in lifelong Christian service. Students involved in the
School of Ministry have a desire to use their gifts
and passion in either full-time ministry or ministry
in a secular context.

This school is designed with the understanding
that God’s call on a person’s life begins now --
not just for some time in the distant future. Consequently,
we will seek to provide the opportunity for the student
to incorporate both learning and practicum.
Emphasis will be placed on both the study of the
Scriptures and practical application to daily life and
service. Our intent is to equip students for their life and
ministry by aiding in the development and maintenance of
Biblical principles that will last a lifetime.

In Matthew 22:29-30, Jesus said “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.” Both are necessary for life and ministry. We will be studying Scripture (with on-line classes and on-site teachings), and we will also spend time seeking His face, His plans, and His empowerment --thereby providing a platform from which all Christian life service, present and future, will spring.

Another goal of SOM is to provide a way for students to get both the education and the experience that they need without an overwhelming financial burden. The rising costs of education, coupled with the extensive time frames required to receive a college education, can take an incredible toll on a student. It is our desire to alleviate the load by providing a way for students to get both the education and experience they need in the most effective way.

Along with specific training times in the School of Ministry, students will be participating in a variety of courses through Northwest University and Flathead Community College. Students will also be involved in specific ministries within the church and throughout the community.
