Prepare For Ministry and Service

Certificates are offered for Ministerial Studies Level One, Ministerial Studies Level Two, and Ministerial Studies Level Three

Ministerial Studies - ROM

Upon completion of the Level One Ministerial Certificate, a student should have met the academic requirements to apply for certified minister status. This includes a working knowledge of Bible study methods, New Testament content, and Pentecostal doctrine. He or she should also possess the basic skills needed to begin serving in a ministerial role in the local church.

Level One (Certified Minister)

Level Two (Certified Minister)

The Global University independent-study text (IST) or study guide is your teacher. The course introduction found in the front of each course IST or study guide serves as your syllabus. It will walk you through what is required for your course and how to study. You will also receive a Student Packet for each course along with your IST or study guide. The Student Packet includes two helpful tools. The “Checklist of Study Methods” and the “Student’s Planner and Record” will help you know how to study a lesson, review for a unit progress evaluation on a group of lessons, and prepare for the final examination that covers all of the lessons. If you do not usually study as recommended, you will need to adapt your study methods to achieve the highest success in the course.

Level Three (Ordained Minister)

You can calculate the cost of tuition by multiplying the cost of one undergraduate credit by the number of credits required for a particular degree. For example, in 2013 the tuition cost for a B.A. degree is 128 credits multiplied by $125 CAN which is $16,000. This tuition cost does not include course materials or other student fees. The undergraduate tuition and fees schedule lists other student fees and the undergraduate course order form lists the cost of tuition and materials for each course.
