Our Purpose
In association with the Berean School of the Bible and Global University,
we offer classes that may be applied toward Ministry Credentials through
the Assemblies of God or for anyone who simply wants to know more about God's Word
Many students benefit greatly from classroom instruction
over the guided self-study of a purely online course.
Classes will be intentionally small (no more than 20 students)
to allow for more individual instruction and open discussion.
They will also be short term (typically one meeting per week for 4 to 6 weeks)
to enable more people to participate. Our vision is for classes
that include those who have a call to full-time ministry
as well as volunteers, Christian workers, and anyone
who desires a more firm foundation in the Scriptures
Ministry Credentials
Ministerial Credentialing is a very important issue.
As a credentialed Assemblies of God minister, you join the ranks of men and women
who for decades have proclaimed and lived the principles set forth in the Scriptures.
We encourage you to pursue your credential diligently.
We at Troy School of Ministry can help greatly with the education component
of preparing yourself for Ministry Credentials.
But that is only one piece of the larger whole.
We strongly encourage anyone seeking credentials to
begin by contacting our District Office.
Please feel free to contact Randy Lee at randy@nomoag.org.
You will also find helpful information on the Northern Missouri District Website
www.nomoag.org/credentialshome
We want to help you in fulfilling God’s call on your life.
The Assemblies of God gives recognition to the following classifications of ministers:
