preparation) for each class which meets every two weeks.
Q: I have a busy life with a family and job. Instead, can I attend this class via Zoom™,
Facetime™ or Skype™ ?

not allowing online attendance. It is important to attend all classes in person.

A: No.
Q. How many classes are students allowed to miss during the year?

Chapel teachers along with other great men of God who have impacted the church in our generation.
Q: What is the financial cost of this course?
A: All course materials are available at wholesale cost. The entire course costs about $110.00
which we feel is very affordable considering the depth of content offered.
Q: I am interested in this, but I don’t know if I can do something like this...
A: The only thing prohibiting a believer from attending SOM is a lack of strong desire. It’s been
rightly said that “hungry children are healthy children.” We encourage you to first pray and
ask God what His will is. Secondly, ask a pastor as many questions as needed to settle and
strengthen your heart. The benefits far outweigh the sacrifices, and you will experience a
rapid and hopefully dramatic spiritual growth in your walk with Christ. We are here to come
alongside of you, encourage and guide you to completion.
