Ministry Education

For those who are interested in a quality ministry education from a conservative (Pentecostal) viewpoint, the Assemblies of God's Global University is an excellent option.

Global University is accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council, an accrediting agency recognized by the US Department of Education.* It is also endorsed by the Assemblies of God (AOG)as an institution where potential AOG ministers can get their training. The school offers courses at the Bible Institute (adult education) level as well as undergraduate and graduate degrees. All courses are available via distance learning methods, with many courses being available via an online format. The tuition cost is less than half of that at many Bible college or seminary programs, and a wide variety of courses are available. This is a particularly attractive feature to bivocational ministers who do not have the time or income to spend on a traditional/residential program.


*While the US Department of Education does not "rank" accrediting bodies, it should be notied that DETC accreditation is not regarded as prestigious as regional accreditation or accreditation through a specialized agency such as the Assocation of Theological Schools. This can mean that some schools may not accept transfer credits from Global University. It may also mean that some schools may not recognize a Global University Degree as acceptable for admission to a graduate program. However, many schools WILL accept these credits and degrees: You will just need to do additional research prior to applying to other programs.
