Monday Learning Opportunities

Roddy E. Collins School of Ministry (REC SOM) was established with the goal to provide Christian education to all believers in Jesus Christ.  It does not matter how long you have been saved or your church position, REC SOM was designed with you in mind.  Our desire is to minister to the many who are in the pews and not just the few who are in the pulpit.

This academic school year REC SOM offers a Certification in Theology; a Certification in Spiritual Maturity; and a Certification in Stand Your Ground.  All curriculums are one-year in length.  

Classes are held weekly on Monday evenings from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. via Zoom with the exception of holidays.  When a holiday occurs on Monday, classes will resume on Tuesday.Each student is required to register before attending class. The cost of registration is $50.00 plus the cost of books. This registration fee includes all six sessions for the September-June academic year.  Also, the Roddy E. Collins School of Ministry offers a “Payment Plan” designed for students to pay per attending session.  Each session is $10.00 and must be paid at the beginning of each session.
