Introduction

A strong ministry needs a good foundation. At the Grace School of Ministry, we prepare men and women for effective ministry by laying a strong foundation. Our foundation begins with teaching the Word of God in the classroom and continues with practical application in all areas of church ministry and administration. Students learn by precept and example from Pastor Bob Yandian and the experienced staff of Grace Church.

As you will notice from a quick review of our curriculum, our emphasis is on those areas of instruction which will equip you to do the work of the ministry, not on subjects of general Bible knowledge. Our courses all revolve around the basic principles of the Word, and are taught either from the premise of what the Bible has to say, or from practical experience regarding a subject.            

Within the Areas of Study portion of the website, we have listed the courses taught with a description of the purpose and content under each. We offer seven major areas of study: Pastoral, Administration, Teaching, Biblical Counseling, Music, Youth, and Children. In addition to these seven areas, there is a core of general studies each student is required to take. The majority of your instructors are full-time staff ministers at Grace Church and will be teaching the principles involved in their particular area of the ministry at Grace Church.
