Admission Policy

Applicants for our seminary program must be a minimum of twenty-one years old and have a minimum of a four-year diploma, a Bible School certificate, ministry preparation program, previous seminary experience, or other applicable training program. Programs are not required to be accredited, but are subject to the examination and investigation of our staff. Transfer credits are the discretion of our program instructors. Copies of transcripts and certificates, diplomas, and any credentialing are required upon admission.

We will consider ministerial experience of five years or more for our program as educational experience on a case-by-case basis.

We do not discriminate on the basis of sex or gender identity, sexual orientation, race, origin, denomination, economic status, or creed. As this is a Christian seminary program for Christian ministry, we do require all students to be Christians, active participants of a church or ministry association, in good standing. While we are a school with a Pentecostal theological outlook, we welcome Christians of all denominations to study with us.
