Stepping Into God’s Call with Confidence

Starting something new, especially going back to school after a long time, can feel overwhelming. You might wonder if you’ll be able to keep up, balance responsibilities, or step into the unknown of ministry training with confidence. Those feelings are natural, and you’re not alone.

The Minnesota School of Ministry (MNSOM) exists for people just like you—men and women answering God’s call in the middle of life’s busyness. Maybe you’re balancing family, work, and ministry already. Maybe distance or past circumstances made it hard to pursue traditional schooling. That’s exactly why MNSOM is here.

With MNSOM’s unique format—blending the flexibility of self-study with the strength of in-person learning one Saturday a month in the classroom—you’ll find a rhythm that works with real life. You’ll also discover that you’re not walking this path by yourself. Alongside you will be instructors, pastors, and fellow students who know what it’s like to step out in faith and take on something new. Many of them started with the same questions and hesitations you may be feeling right now.

This journey isn’t just about academics. It’s about growing in your faith, sharpening the ministry gifts God has placed in you, and finding encouragement in a community of believers walking the same road. Every class session is more than learning—it’s fellowship, connection, and preparation for the ministry God has called you to.

So, take a deep breath and step forward with confidence. God has already gone before you, and MNSOM is here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re beginning credentialing, upgrading, or simply wanting to deepen your biblical understanding, this is your moment. And you don’t have to do it alone.
