Student Testimonials

Sharilee Rudolph - IOM Class #54

The Institute of Ministry taught me to serve the Lord in excellence; excellence of Sprit and the teaching of the Word. It confirmed my passion to give myself wholeheartedly for the Kingdom of God.

 

Gloria Smith - IOM Class #83

I learned to make God #1 in my life, understand the importance of reading and studying His Word daily and to hear his voice more. I'm forever grateful for those teachers who gave themselves to help me and many others.

 

Cindy Akins-Thornton

I highy recommend that you take this time to get away with God, hear His voice and then go out and pursue His call on your life. IOM is life changing!

OVER 6000 GRADUATES SINCE 1975

Come expecting that the I.O.M. will be a life-changing experience for you. The Bible will “come alive,” as you are encouraged not only to hear the Word, but to do the Word. Prominent Bible teachers will share their knowledge and experience on subjects designed to challenge, stimulate and fulfill your yearning to be all that God wants you to be – “a living sacrifice.”

Open your heart,
open your home
