A bit of who we are.
The Arizona School of Ministry is a department of the Arizona Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God. We exist to provide the educational requirement for leaders seeking to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and effectiveness in the ministry. Our classes are designed to meet the education requirements for the formal credential process of the Assemblies of God at a fraction of the price of a traditional seminary.

How long will it take?
Classes happen once a month. There are 10 classes in each level (Certified, Licensed, and Ordained). Each year also has a practicum component. Most students can finish an entire level in 10-12 months.
What happens when I finish?
Finishing classes is a big accomplishment. If you wish to pursue credentials with the Assemblies of God you will need to go through the formal application process. ASOM provides the educational requirements for credentialing, but does not guarantee approval of your credentials. Application processes such as examination, background check, prior divorce, baptism in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, and presbytery interview are all important parts of the application process.
