ABOUT THIS COURSE

This course provides students with a mature theological understanding and engagement with the Assemblies of God’s 16 Fundamental Truths. Students will develop familiarity with the official Position Papers of the Assemblies of God as the course explores basic Christian theology through four categories: core Christian theology (essential beliefs), distinctive theology (how the Assemblies of God articulates its theological commitments in conversation with other Christian traditions), issues of conscience (personal convictions), and issues of preference (applying theological beliefs). This comprehensive study equips students to thoughtfully engage in theological discussions and pastoral ministry.

Frequently asked questions

When can I start the course? 

Whenever you want! LEADSOM is designed to let the student learn at their own pace. The only element of the course that has a specific date is the Live Session, which is offered 3 times per year, with the student only required to attend 1.

What happens if I have a question or need help?

You can ask your Live Instructor! Although LEADSOM classes are entirely online, that doesn't mean you're on your own. Every class has a subject matter expert who is available to answer questions and provide any help necessary. Additionally, they will grade your final projects as well as lead the Live Session discussion, so you will get to know them well.

I've already taken some Berean courses, do I get credit for them in LEADSOM?

Yes! All LEADSOM courses have a Berean equivalent so if you've already started your credentialing journey and want to continue with LEADSOM you can do that. In fact, on every course page you will be able to see the Berean equivalent. If you have any questions, just contact our registrar and submit your courses for a review.
