Mt. Zion School of Ministry - Academics
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15
The academic program plays a vital part in the student’s spiritual growth. Through the classes, students come to an understanding of the Lord and His ways through His Word. The student’s first purpose in coming to Mt. Zion School of Ministry is to know Jesus Christ intimately and learn His voice for his/herself. The academic life of Mt. Zion School of Ministry is centered on that purpose.
Mt. Zion School of Ministry’s academic program is an intensive three-year program and maintains high standards. The first two years are in-class training. The third year will be part internship and part classes. At the end of the three-year program students graduate and receive a diploma. Mt. Zion School of Ministry is not an accredited Bible college, though the courses we offer meet the standards of many accredited Bible colleges. Mt. Zion School of Ministry does not offer degrees; therefore every student takes the same courses with the exception of the electives, Spanish and Guitar. Enrollment in the English classes is determined by an assessment test taken at the beginning of the first and second year. Below is a list of our courses and the total unit hours.
