We're equipping those He has called!  The Illinois School of Ministry (ISOM) opened its doors in January 2008 to assist those who are seeking to either grow in their personal Bible studies or complete their coursework in the process of being credentialed with the Illinois District. We are now offering three ministry tracks as well as a Certificate in Biblical Training for church leaders.   

• Track 1 (certified minister courses) will focus on the foundations of our doctrine and help you develop a firm understanding of the Assemblies of God history, mission, and message.
• Track 2 (license to preach courses) will go deeper in biblical foundations of our mission and message as well as provide foundational keys for leadership roles in the church.
• Track 3 (ordination level courses) will prepare the student for the role and responsibilities of an Assemblies of God pastor.
• "Just Pick 4" Certificate in Biblical Training - Now any ministry leader can grow in their specific area of ministry and gain a Certificate in Biblical Training. Just pick any four of our course offerings of 24 subjects, customizing your education to fit your specific area of passion and ministry.  For more information click here.
  

If you enjoy group study and interaction with fellow students, the Illinois School of Ministry may be the answer for you. Train alongside your peers in a ministry-oriented environment. Experience the joy of learning from those involved in ministry on a daily basis. Invest yourself in a systematic study that will prepare you for leadership and give you a solid ministry foundation.

From the Illinois School of Ministry President….

The Illinois School of Ministry is especially designed to meet the needs of busy church leaders seeking greater ministry knowledge, those contemplating a call to ministry, as well as those already in ministry that are seeking to complete credential requirements.  Wherever you may be in this journey, we are committed to a process that will enable leaders to think biblically, strategically, and creatively about today’s ministry issues.  We look forward to partnering with you in this process.
