2019-2020 catalog

Indiana School of Ministry Core ValuesISOM will fi rst demonstrate a commitment to the manifested Presence of God. Equipping that informs the mind without engaging the spirit lacks eternal benefi t.

ISOM will demonstrate a commitment to relational interaction. An enduring value of ministerial development in the Indiana District is to facilitate supportive peer relationships and to provide face-to-face interaction with instructors and district offi ce staff .

ISOM will demonstrate a commitment to character building through attention to ministerial ethics and spiritual formation. Ministry is more about who we are than what we know.

ISOM will demonstrate a commitment to practical ministerial training. Our faculty will share from the depths of ministerial and life experience. ISOM students will benefi t from both practical application and biblical instruction.

ISOM will demonstrate a commitment to biblical knowledge. The Word of God is our all-suffi cient guide to life and godliness, and God calls ministers to handle the Word with integrity and accuracy.

PurposeThe Indiana School of Ministry (ISOM) exists to provide training for those with a call to ministry, whether as credentialed ministers with the Assemblies of God, or as equipped laypersons within the local church. The school seeks to promote a unifi ed purpose for ministry within the Fellowship, providing doctrinal and practical instruction, based upon common core values and shared ministry goals. ISOM provides the platform for gift ed men and women of God to train those who will put on the mantle of service and invest in the Kingdom of God. The school fully subscribes to the Statement of Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God and commits itself to proclaim and support the principles and polity of the Assemblies of God.

1

Endorsements The Indiana School of Ministry (ISOM) has been recognized and endorsed by the Executive Presbytery Board of the General Council of the Assemblies of God as a member of the Association of Assemblies of God District Schools of Ministry. The School has also been endorsed by the Executive Presbytery of the Indiana District Council of the

Assemblies of God as an offi cial ministerial training program for those seeking credentials through the Indiana District Council of the Assemblies of God.

DisclaimersISOM is open to any person age 18 or older who has made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, or physical disability. The school may discriminate for any other reason and on the basis of religious belief as stated in The General Council of the Assemblies of God Constitution and Bylaws (http://agchurches.org/Sitefi les/Default/RSS/AG.org%20TOP/GCM%2008%202015%20-%20Minutes%20and%20Index.pdf) and position papers (http://ag.org/top/Beliefs/Position_Papers/index.cfm).

Participation in ISOM is contingent upon the blessing of the student’s pastor.

Courses completed through the Indiana School of Ministry that are required by the Assemblies of God for credentials meet the educational requirements of the General Council for the respective level of credential.

Completion of the courses, however, does not guarantee that a ministry credential will be granted, nor that preferential treatment will be given to those completing the required ministerial training courses through the School of Ministry. The credentialing of ministers is a process separate from completion of the educational requirements.

ISOM is a non-accredited Bible institute. While endorsed by the Executive Presbyter of the General Council of the Assemblies of God for ministerial training, courses completed through the school do not automatically qualify for college credit.

ISOM Administration Table of Contents

2 Timothy 1:13-14 says, “What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you - guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” (NIV)

Growth in ministry is passed on through relationship with God and His people. Paul encouraged Timothy to keep what he had learned through a ministry/mentoring context as the pattern for sound teaching. It is our hope that the Indiana District School of Ministry (ISOM) will help you prepare for ministry in the context of the relationships you gain at ISOM and of those you already have in your local church.

God has placed a good deposit in your life. Guard that deposit with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in you. Let that deposit grow and bear fruit, so that you can lend it to others.

ISOM is the fulfi llment of a dream to make ministerial training available in a relational context while the student stays engaged in local church ministry. We are excited to partner with you in your journey and pray that God will do wonderful things in your life.
