| Question: | Is BISOM accredited? | |
| Response: | BISOM is not accredited, however, various educational institutions grant credit for BISOM coursework. BISOM is not seeking secular accreditation as we do not offer traditional academic courses such as mathematics, history, literature, science etc. Jesus had no accredited degrees, but the power that flowed through His hands caused multitudes to come to Him. Your Spirit-anointed ministry is what accredits our program and opens the doors before you for a continually expanding impact on the world. | |
