ABOUT

Welcome to Central School of Ministry! Our prayer is that as you consider school and ministry, God will equip you mightily to do the work He has prepared in advance for you to do. We believe we can be an important part of that preparation, providing what you need for ministry today.

Different than a traditional school (much less in cost, but more in application) we provide dynamic, knowledgeable instructors with solid theological backgrounds. What they teach you will apply to your daily life and ministry, whether as an ordained minister or a layperson answering Jesus' call to make disciples through another vocation.

More than just classes, we include practicums in your local area, mentoring, and in-depth discussion practices. We work closely with ordination boards and churches to ensure we are providing what is needed to thrive in today's ministry environment.

Most of all, we are here to pray for you, encourage you, and help you fulfill your God-given calling. Check us out!

OUR BELIEFS

Central School of Ministry, above all, believes in and trusts in the sovereignty of the One, true God, the Father Almighty, Creator of all, who governs all things according to the purpose of His perfect will. We believe salvation comes through faith alone in Christ alone and results in the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides us in God's ways. We believe in the divine inspiration and ultimate authority of the Old and New Testament scriptures in the Bible.

God

God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Bible

The Bible is God's Word to humanity in written form, complete and perfect, useful for teaching and Christian living.

Eternity

Eternity awaits all of humanity: for those in Christ Jesus, they will experience glorification; for those apart from Christ, eternal separation and punishment.

Jesus

Jesus Christ is God's Son; he is fully God and man, and he is the final and ultimate sacrifice offered in reconciliation between God and humanity.

Sin

We believe that all humanity is born into a fallen state of sin and is therefore separated from God.

Hope

Jesus is coming back to call all Christians to Himself and will bring the Kingdom of God in its fullness.

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit exists within all Christians. He comforts, convicts, and calls us to Christian living and holiness.

Salvation

Salvation is the gift of reconciliation and ultimate act of restoration offered to humanity through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in our place.

Spiritual Gifts

Spiritual gifts are given generously by the Holy Spirit as he sees fit in the life of each believer to be exercised responsibly for the glorification of God and the edification of the church.
