Review tuition, included materials, and assistance
First Foundations cohort
The first Foundations cohort meets on Zoom every Monday, January 4–February 22, 2027, from 7:30–8:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST). Joining details are provided in the enrolled-student calendar.
The complete program contains 39 lessons. Dates for the later tracks will be announced separately.
Certificate and ministry discernment
Students who successfully complete the required coursework and assessments receive a certificate of completion for the course or program completed.
Completion also provides an opportunity to be considered for ordination or affirmation when the individual’s calling is discerned. This is a separate discernment and review process; a certificate or payment of tuition does not automatically confer ordination or affirmation. The school’s review considers calling, Christlike character, biblical understanding, demonstrated ministry fruit, and accountable relationships.
Apostle Eric L. Jones, together with a ministry council, conducts the discernment review for ordination or affirmation.
Earlier review for experienced ministers
Experienced ministers may request an ordination or affirmation discernment review before completing all four tracks. Apostle Eric L. Jones and the ministry council evaluate each request individually. An earlier review does not guarantee ordination or affirmation and does not itself waive coursework or certificate requirements.
Earlier-review requirements
- A summary of ministry experience.
- Two ministry references.
- An interview with Apostle Jones and the ministry council.
These materials support the discernment process and do not guarantee ordination or affirmation. Submission instructions will be provided when the review process opens.
Discernment-review fee: There is no separate fee for an ordination or affirmation discernment review, including an earlier review requested by an experienced minister. A review does not guarantee ordination or affirmation.
Foundations payment option: Pay $125 USD in full or in two installments of $62.50, with no surcharge. The total remains $125 and is fully credited toward the complete program if you continue. The first $62.50 installment is due after acceptance and before January 4, 2027. The second $62.50 installment is due February 1, 2027.
