Four Emphases of RMSM

Rocky Mountain School of Ministry (RMSM) seeks to take an untraditional approach to higher education and focuses on the complete development of an individual. RMSM is a regional school of leadership in Church of God (TN) with an emphasis on training men and women to serve God in ministry for the rest of their lives. RMSM is partnered with Church of God (TN) and Lee University (TN) and focuses on our four emphases: Academics, Adventure, Apologetics, and Apprenticeship.

 

  • Academics:  Students earn their fully accredited degrees with a combination of online and in-person classes through RMSM. In addition, students earn credits through their apprenticeship program as they do ministry and build God’s kingdom. Student graduating from RMSM receive their accredited degree from Lee University and their certificate of ministry leadership training from RMSM.

 

  • Adventure: One lost art of discipleship and growth is igniting a sense of wonder and adventure in the minds and hearts of men and women. God has created an amazing world that can invoke a sense of wonder and assist in creating a close-knit team of students. Students explore creation, help those in need (missions), learn in the outdoors, and grow closer to God through our adventure emphasis.

  • Apologetics: Students are bombarded daily by a worldview contrary to the Bible, and students need to be prepared to defend their faith and fight for the souls of lost men and women. Students are grounded in a Biblical worldview and taught to share their faith through classes and education trips to iconic locations such as the Museum of the Bible and Ark Encounter.


  • Apprenticeship: God has called every follower of Christ to be part of building His Kingdom and disciples, and RMSM students are taught to do this in a variety of ways. Students intern with ministry leaders at RMSM and learn how church and community ministries work. Students in their second semester begin their apprenticeship in a specific area, one that matches how God has designed, equipped, and gifted them, and they begin to build God’s Kingdom in college.


Untraditional is a theme we embrace. We believe traditional routes to education have their advantages, but sometimes lack the whole person and spiritual approach which is needed for young men and women. Students graduate with the same degree as they would at a traditional school, but also with a solid grounding in the faith and training on how to serve God in a mighty way.
