Vision

The Harvest School of Ministry is a Spirit-filled, Word-based Bible College dedicated to empowering those who have a desire to be used of God in ministry. We are preparing men and women of God to grow in knowledge and wisdom to be used of God in various capacities, including those called to the five-fold ministry office. We are dedicated to excellence and accuracy. As God works through us, we will help individuals and churches by providing biblical solutions for life.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to open the spiritual eyes of God's people by empowering them to reach for the divine standard set by God within His Holy Word; and by placing emphasis on knowledge, application and action. To send men and women out for global ministry and to reach the lost.

Statement of Faith We Believe

• In the triune God: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit

• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in the blessed hope of His personal, visible future return to this earth to receive to Himself His blood bought church.

• The Holy Spirit is a divine person.

• We believe in the sanctifying indwelling power of the Holy Spirit which enables believers to live Godly lives.

• All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation. • Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men.

• There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust. • Water Baptism

• Observance of the Lord's Supper (Rev. 22:19)

The program will now offer international courses that are designed to train and equip members in the body of Christ and send those called to do the work of the ministry for local and missions outreach. The new courses offered here are designed to spiritually empower believers in their faith and to become disciples of Jesus Christ globally!

The diploma in Biblical Studies is designed with two specific needs in mind. The first is for persons who seek a year of study in preparation for lay service with an overseas mission agency, or for more effective lay involvement in the life of their local congregation. It also serves as a "trial year in seminary" for persons who wish to test their gifts and skills with a view toward possible further preparation for full-‐time Christian ministry.

Diploma course work may later be applied toward a Master of Divinity or Master of Arts degree.

HSM purposes to provide quality spirit filled education for all its students at the most practical cost possible. As a private, non-‐profit institution, Harvest School of Ministry receives no support from taxes or other public funds.
