Below we provide more information which includes study and ministry format, schedule, tuition costs and FAQs about our upcoming school of ministry based in Eimeldingen (Germany) right on the border of Switzerland and France.
Study and ministry format
Awakening School of Ministry is focused on personal transformation. While there are no grades given, participation, excellence, and timely completion of homework are expected of each student.
- There will be a variety of books which you will read during your time with us in addition to a Bible reading plan.
- As a whole school, we will share the Gospel on weekly outreaches in various locations (Basel, Freiburg, Lörrach…).
- In addition to the main sessions, you will be able to choose from among various elective classes. These will include Prophetic Training, Preaching, Leadership, Missions, Church Planting, Stadium Event Management, Mass Evangelism and many more.
- Every student will learn how to preach and be trained in how to communicate the Word of God.
- To activate you in ministering to people around the world, you will have the opportunity to take part in a mission trip in the second half of our school year.
Transferable credit
Students attending ASM should consider themselves full-time students carrying a full load of coursework. We are very excited to announce our cooperation with ISTL (International Seminary of Theology and Leadership) which will allow ASM Alumni to receive credits towards a bachelors degree.
ISTL is an innovative training center for theology in leadership. The school has campuses in Germany and Switzerland. Their four different Bachelor of Arts programs are fully accredited with the European Council for Theological Education (ECTS). ISTL enables people for full-time ministry in church planting, missions, evangelism, and pastoral ministry.
