Biblical style discipleship
ASM combines both foundational knowledge courses with practical experience courses in its curriculum. As such, Students will gain a deep understanding of Scriptures while also receiving the hands-on experiences that are normal in ministry. Our classes are divided into two categories: Foundational & Practical.
ASM seeks to approach the heart of Jesus’ discipleship method. Teach, Demonstrate, Guide, and Commission. ASM creates an atmosphere for students to gain both thorough knowledge and practical experience of the content. Students will receive instructional teaching and hear about personal experiences from faculty. They will observe practical demonstrations of the content from the faculty member, and then display their own understanding of the content through practice under the guidance of the instructor in a safe and educational environment. Finally, they will be released and commissioned to go and do the work of the ministry. Opportunities for practical experience will be provided by ASM for students to get firsthand experience.
ASM believes that the Rabbinic model of discipleship helps promote the most growth and learning where students work alongside their instructors. Unlike most schools, ASM creates an opportunity for students to spend hours a week with their instructors outside of the classroom where they are able to learn, practice, and grow all while doing the work of the ministry.
