Vision Statement

The Ascension Life School of Ministry (Bible College) has a two-fold purpose in meeting the requirements of the Associate of Applied Ministry degree (A.A.M) and Bachelor of Applied Ministry Degree (B.A.M). First, special emphasis is given to the fields of applied/practical ministry, where students are introduced to subjects that are purposed to help with their spiritual walk and development (spiritual maturity), as well as their ability to do the work of the ministry (Eph 4:11–16; Mark 16:15–18). Second, a strong biblical foundation is laid so that students will be equipped to give a reasoned defense for their Christian beliefs and practices (1 Pet 3:15; 2 Tim 3:16-17), as well as the ability to articulate a biblical worldview that (1) gives glory to God, (2) exalts the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and (3) promotes the gospel of the kingdom, coupled with miracles, signs, and wonders.

Degree Requirements

In order to complete the degree requirements for the Ascension Life School of Ministry and be issued a diploma at the end of the year (A.A.M or B.A.M.), students must attend both Monday and Wednesday nights. Students are required to attend all classes and are allowed to only miss five (5) Monday night classes and five (5) Wednesday night classes during a calendar year. At no time can a student miss three (3) consecutive Mondays or Wednesdays. Exceptions to the attendance rule (e.g., death in the family, hospitalization, work, etc.) will be on a case-by-case basis. However, special accommodations are given to those who are working in some capacity of church ministry (e.g., nursery, children’s church, safety team, etc.) on a school night.
