Preparing People For Ministry KSOM The Kentucky School of Ministry Course Catalog 2016 Las clases en Español en páginas 19 y 20 Kentucky School of Ministry - 2016 Catalog What a pleasure to welcome you to the Kentucky District School of Ministry. As a part of the rapidly growing KSOM family, you’ve joined a fellowship of faithful and dedicated students, from High-Schoolers to College Students, and certainly a host of Bi-vocational ministry students ranging from Senior Pastors, Staff Ministers, to singles or husbands/wives raising children and finding themselves called to God’s work with a passion for learning to do it more creatively and effectively. There’s even some you’ll become friends with who already hold Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate degrees in other fields of study. Having had the privilege of previously serving on the national committee of the Association of District Schools of Ministry, I can attest first-hand to the phenomenal opportunities ahead for students committed to bible knowledge or the pursuit of ministerial credentials with the Assemblies of God. Now with 65 million members around the world and with missionaries and mission organizations in 212 nations across the globe, this great Church is honored to help you pursue His purposes in your life and ministry. It’s a joy to partner with you. May the Lord richly bless your work and efforts for Him. Pastor Joe Joseph S. Girdler Kentucky District Superintendent Welcome to the Kentucky School of Ministry. We are honored that you are joining our learning community. Our faculty and administration are dedicated to helping our students develop the skills and understanding needed to become more effective in ministry. KSOM is especially designed with two kinds of students in mind: those who are preparing to pursue ministry credentials with the Assemblies of God, and those who simply desire to gain a deeper understanding of Biblical concepts and ministry principles. For ministerial candidates, KSOM provides the required classes that satisfy the academic requirements for ministry applicants for each level of Assembly of God ministry credentials – Certified. Licensed and Ordained. KSOM is also a wonderful resource for equipping church leaders, deacons, teachers, volunteers, etc. – those people who are so vital to the spiritual health of every church. Wherever you may be in your ministry journey, we are committed to helping you become a better equipped servant of our Lord. Sincerely, Stanley E. Holder KSOM Director, District Secretary/Treasurer We are excited to say that the ideas of Schools of Ministry are increasing across the United States. Individuals sensing the call of God to ministry are able to complete the academic requirements in order to pursue that calling. Many of our students are no longer college age and need to support their families. KSOM gives these individuals the opportunity to focus on their studies at an affordable alternative to going to Bible College. In addition, our faculty pour into the lives of the students, and the students gain an understanding of ministry from these ministers who are and have been active in their call for many years. As the KSOM coordinator, I am available to answer your questions regarding the school, assist you in ordering class materials, determine what courses you need to take, handle transcript requests and aid you in the internship process. Please feel free to contact me with your questions at djb@kyag.org or 502-241-7111 Ext. 22. Furthering the Kingdom, Debbie Brown KSOM Coordinator, District Office Administrative Assistant 1 Kentucky School of Ministry 7206 Clore Ln | Crestwood, KY 40014 | 502-241-7111 | www.kyag.org/ksom Kentucky School of Ministry - 2016 Catalog General Information The Kentucky School of Ministry (KSOM) is an important part of the ministry endeavors of churches and pastors. Knowledge gleaned from the classroom experience becomes a valuable tool that the Holy Spirit can use to further the purposes of God. KSOM integrates spiritual formation, relationship building, and academic achievement to provide a unique learning experience. Students not only acquire knowledge necessary for obtaining ministerial credentials, but also develop character and skills essential for effective ministry. Purpose of Kentucky School of Ministry Kentucky School of Ministry exists to facilitate the mission of the church by promoting and enabling the training of ministers and Christian workers. The school provides training for those sensing a call to ministry, whether as credentialed ministers or as equipped laypersons within the local church. The school strives to give doctrinal and practical instruction based upon common core values and shared ministry goals. Kentucky School of Ministry fully subscribes to the Statement of Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God and is committed to proclaim and support the principles and polity of the Assemblies of God. The school is committed to provide training that meets District and General Council educational requirements for ministerial credentials. This training shall be equivalent to criteria adopted by the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God and complies with the guidelines established by the Association of Assemblies of God District Schools of Ministry. Classes offered are professional and practical training at an institute level. Unless offered through an accredited college or university, courses are not for college credit and are not transferable as college credit. Statement of Faith Kentucky School of Ministry adopts the Statement of Fundamental Truths, as adopted by the General Council of the Assemblies of God, as its statement of faith.

A standard of excellence will be set before the students to ensure their development both in research and classroom experience. An effort will be made to cultivate their creative abilities in presenting the gospel. The School of Ministry will provide student interaction in the classroom to develop a broad perspective of understanding the Church’s mission. The School will seek to integrate spiritual formation, relationship building and academic achievement to provide a unique learning experience for the student as prescribed by 2 Timothy 2:15, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed handling accurately the word of truth” (NIV). Academic excellence, spiritual experience, and skill development will be the goals set forth in the classroom. Students will be encouraged to acquire knowledge necessary for obtaining ministerial credentials in each level of ministerial recognition. Structure Classes are conducted once a month, eight times a year. Courses are offered each month, one for each corresponding credential level (Certified Ministry, Licensed Ministry, Ordained Ministry, Diploma in Biblical Studies, Continuing Education, Youth Ministry, and Children’s Ministry). Students participate in five hours of classroom instruction with two-hour class sessions on Friday evening and three on Saturday morning. A final exam is taken at 9:00 am on Saturday morning. Prior to class, each student is required to work through the course text and study guide. A minimum of 10 hours of preparatory work is necessary. With the classroom time, students will have invested at least 16 hours per course. The study guide is worth 40% of the overall course grade. The classroom instruction provides an overview of the material, practical applications, and opportunity for questions and discussion. Instructors use personal experience and a variety of teaching methods. Instructors are limited to ordained ministers and college professors. Faculty members become natural mentors as they build relationships and share experiences with their students. Disclaimer Required credential courses completed through Kentucky School of Ministry meet the educational requirements of The General Council of the Assemblies of God for the respective level of credential with the Assemblies of God. Many other aspects enter into the granting of a credential and those aspects must also be met before a credential will be granted. The credentialing process is separate from the completion of the educational requirements. Students who desire to pursue ministry credentials need to contact the District Office (502-241-7111) and request a credential application packet. Taking classes through Kentucky School of Ministry does not automatically qualify students to receive a credential with the Assemblies of God, nor does participation and completion of the classes give preference in the credentialing process. 3 Kentucky School of Ministry 7206 Clore Ln | Crestwood, KY 40014 | 502-241-7111 | www.kyag.org/ksom Kentucky School of Ministry - 2016 Catalog Student Policies and Grading Information 1.

Attendance Students are expected to attend all five class sessions (see page 22 for details) for KSOM courses in their entirety. KSOM is not a correspondence school. Attendance is required. In the event that a student has an unforeseen emergency—such as illness, family crisis (injury or death), or church/ministry crisis (parishioner injury or death occurring immediately prior to or during a KSOM weekend-- they may either wait for the course to be offered again, or take the missed class through Berean School of the Bible or a neighboring district school of ministry. In this case, moneys paid for registration will be credited to the student’s account to count for a future class. If a student registers for and cannot attend a class, they are to notify the KSOM office 502-241-7111 Ext.22.

Student Code of Ethics, Conduct and Honor Students are expected to conduct themselves in a Christ-like and Biblical manner at all times, in both their personal conduct and pursuit of their studies, striving to maintain the highest of ethical standards, including honesty and integrity. Failure to adhere to such standards may result in the student’s dismissal from KSOM, subject to the decision of the school’s administration. In the classroom, students should be respectful of their peers and instructors. Behavior that is disruptive to the learning process and disrespectful to others will not be tolerated and will be addressed, first by the instructor of the class, and if necessary, by the administration. Students refusing to be cooperative may be dismissed from the school. Students are expected to complete the required course assignments of their own effort. While it is reasonable and beneficial for two or more students from the same family, church or community to study together, it is essential that each student’s work be his/her own. No students should combine their study results to make a common line of thought that appears identical on multiple pre-class session text overviews. Situations of this nature will be brought to the attention of the school’s administration and will be investigated to determine if discipline is warranted. 5 Kentucky School of Ministry 7206 Clore Ln | Crestwood, KY 40014 | 502-241-7111 | www.kyag.org/ksom Kentucky School of Ministry - 2016 Catalog How To Register If you are ready to join the Kentucky School of Ministry as a student, whether for personal studies or for fulfillment of the credentialing process, do the following: STEP 1 – ENROLL In order to register for a class, you must be enrolled in the Kentucky School of Ministry.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that the older you get, you cannot accomplish your dreams. KSOM offered me just that chance. Without it, I don’t know that I would have been able to further my career in the ministry. I appreciate the generosity and skills of all the very talented teachers who have taught me so very much. I am blessed to have been a part of this great education process. Patsy Dennis, Ordained Minister District Children’s Director & Children’s Pastor Kentucky School of Ministry has been such a blessing in my life. I have been challenged to grow in two areas. First, in ministry I have built confidence by developing steadfast study habits, and a deeper love for the Word of God. As a result of this I have started writing and implementing a discipleship course of basic doctrine which I have used in our Prison Ministry for the last two months. The second area is in personal prayer. I have developed a more disciplined prayer life. The friends that I have made at KSOM will follow me for the rest of my life. I am a better minister today because of KSOM. Dan Melcher, Licensed Minister Lexington, KY Ministers in the Kentucky District should be standing in line for the opportunity to instruct the students of KSOM! We are the fruit of your labor. As students of KSOM, we are so grateful for those ministers who do teach. We have learned so much not only from the classes, but from you – Thank You! The fellowship with other KSOM students, as well as Brother and Sister Holder, are invaluable.
