Options for Ministry Education and Training
Recognizing the tremendous diversity of the Body of Christ and the ministers God is raising up all over Ohio and the nation, educational requirements for credentials with the Assemblies of God can be met through a variety of customizable training venues.
To begin your search for accredited course work from quality institutions across the nation we encourage ministers to first visit Assemblies of God Colleges or Universities, including correspondence and online opportunities through Global University. Global University offers the same courses on a non-accredited basis for a substantially lower cost through Berean School of the Bible.
The Ohio Ministry Network is also thrilled to offer all the necessary credentialing courses through convenient and economical weekend training venues at the Network Resurce Center (in Columbus) on a monthly basis through the Ohio School of Ministry. This is a great way to learn from fellow Ohio leaders and to rub shoulders with other Ohio individuals who are exploring the call of God on their lives.

Ashland College and Seminary
