Courses completed through the Oregon School of Ministry (OSOM) that are required by the Assemblies of God for credentials fulfill the educational requirements of the General Council for the respective level of credential. However, completion of these courses does not guarantee that a ministry credential will be granted, nor does it provide preferential treatment to those who complete the required ministerial training courses through the school of ministry. The credentialing of ministers is a separate process from the completion of educational requirements.
OSOM is a non-accredited Bible institute. While endorsed by the Executive Presbytery of the General Council of the Assemblies of God for ministerial training, courses completed through the school of ministry do not automatically qualify for college credit.
We charge a $20 new student fee to set up your academic transcripts. You can request a transcript anytime from our team.
