The 400 Series - Ministerial Studies

The purpose of this series is to train a student in effective leadership with an ability to relate the Principles of Science of Mind to everyday living and to express these principles in a clear, practical way to persons unfamiliar with them. On successful completion of this series, the student will be able to demonstrate:
  • A clear understanding of the basic principles of Science of Mind and to relate these principles to the truth within traditional religious teachings.
  • An ability to prepare a teaching outline for a class or formal lecture from material within the curriculum of Religious Science International and to conduct both a class and a formal lecture with clarity, conviction and authority.
  • To develop qualities of leadership in church operation, management, growth and expansion.
  • To produce students who are able to clearly teach Science of Mind classes accredited by One Spirit Ministries and Emerson Theology Institute.
 

Prerequisites for admission to the 400 Series include:

         

        It should be noted that this course is intended only for the student who has a clear intention of beginning a Religious Science ministry upon completion of the course. Please note that successful completion of 400 series coursework does not guarantee the student's successful licensure as a minister.

        Upon completion of the 400 series, continuing students will have the opportunity to take an entrance examination which qualifies them to continue their professional education. The  Ministerial Intensive Program is an annual symposium where more education relevant to the ministry takes place. Upon completion of the Intensive, the student may elect to stand before a Ministerial Review Board, which will then determine the applicant's readiness for the ministry.

        Once approved by the Ministerial Review Board, the brand new ministerial candidate may elect to begin a new church or to place their name on the eligibility list for any church openings which may occur.
