Apostolic Bible Colleges

Apostolic Ministry

The Apostolic movement is one of the fastest growing Christian movements in the world. With over 30 million constituents in the world, a leader with a true apostolic ministry can have a great impact in adding to the kingdom. One of the best ways to develop a ministry is to find out what has been effective for others and contextualize it in your own life. One of the greatest events that have opened doors for all Apostolics this year has been the merging of Apostolic School of Theology with Hope International University. AST has actually opened a door that has been shut for Apostolics for decades: an accredited college education. For the first time, Apostolics have a completely regional accredited school. Hope International University is accredited with WASC. WASC is one of the regionally accreditation associations of the U.S. and provides accreditation to all of the top universities on the west coast. This is a major historic break for Apostolics! For example, one of the benefits of being part of AST is that students can now get government grants and loans for an Apostolic education. Since HIU has dropped their undergraduate lower-division course tuition to $150/unit, many students are getting their entire Associates Degree paid for by FAFSA.  You are probably saying, “Yeah right!” Well, there are absolutely no strings attached. The reason why many question this is because they have never attended a fully accredited university and applied for financial aid. AST is growing so quickly that since June, AST has tripled in size and in the October 5^th session, will have 70+ students enrolled from the U.S. and Canada. So, one of the best ways to further your apostolic ministry is to attend AST and develop God’s gifts in you.

Not only is AST accredited, but their courses are completely offered online. Online education is the fastest growing type of education in the world. Online education has proven to be a very effective form of education when combined with different necessary factors. What onsite colleges have lacked, online colleges are taking advantage. For example, there are many ministers that left their local churches to attend a four-year bible college. After graduating they found it difficult to put into practice all of the four years of knowledge that they attained. It was difficult because they hardly used their new found knowledge. So, online education is catching quickly because of the ease of application of knowledge. Young Apostolic ministers are applying the leadership skills to their leadership positions within their local church. Talk about success! Pastors perceive how effective this is for their leaders and are recommending it to their staff members. Many students have improved not only their own leadership positions, but have been a tremendous help to the organization of their local church.

AST is receiving about 1200 new visitors per month on their website. Give AST a couple of years and it will without a doubt be the largest Apostolic Bible College in the world! If you need an Apostolic ministry, go to Apostolic Bible College for more information.
