School Work

The AIM program can be divided into three primary sections: From August to December they have two, 9 week terms. From January to April they will have a Mission Term in which the focus of study shifts towards more practical training. The third and final section is the actual field time of at least 14 months on an approved mission field.

During the first term, students will study four core courses; New Testament Message (James "Gibby" Gilbert), Old Testament Survey (Ray Young), Christian Evidences (Ed Wharton) and Life of Christ (Patrick Sheaffer). Each of these course are taught twice weekly for no less than two hours each class period. These Bible course are equivalent to taking approximately 18 hours of college work in a nine week period. Students will have various assignments, pop quizzes and exams all directed at the growth and practical use of their Biblical knowledge.
