Who is it for?
The Certificate of Biblical Studies program is designed for those wanting to learn more about God's Word but do not sense a divine call to vocational ministry or plan to pursue ministerial credentials
How does it work!
Students begin by submitting a Student Application and paying the one time fee of $50. They complete the program requirements and electives in whatever order they desire, as scheduled on the academic calendar. A Course Enrollment form, along with the course fee, is required for each course.
The certificate program consists of nine required courses and three electives. Upon completion of the twelve courses, the student will receive the Certificate of Biblical Studies.
Important Information
Completion of the Certificate of Biblical Studies program does not qualify a person for ministry credentials with the Assemblies of God. Neither is the Certificate of Biblical Studies a ministry credential. The credentialing of ministers is a separate process.
Should a student in the Biblical Studies program desire to pursue a ministry credential, courses completed through the program would be credited toward the appropriate educational requirements of the respective level of credentials.
The West Florida DSOM is a non-accredited Bible institute endorsed by the Assemblies of God District Schools of Ministry.
