Requirements
What We're Looking For
A Sincere Faith
We're not looking for perfect theology, we're looking for a genuine relationship with Jesus and a desire to grow. If you love God and want to go deeper, you belong here.
Church Involvement
Students are expected to be actively involved in a local church throughout their studies. The practicum requirement in SBS, 2+ hours of ministry service per week, reflects this commitment.
Commitment to the Work
SBS requires roughly 8–10 hours per week. SSM requires attendance on Monday evenings. We don't require perfection, but we do ask for follow-through.
High School Diploma or Equivalent
A high school diploma or GED is required for enrollment in degree programs. For the Associate of Supernatural Ministry, please contact admissions to discuss your specific situation.
