Student Information and Application Form
Purpose
- To prepare God's people for the current move of the Holy Spirit upon the earth.
- To provide a firm biblical foundation for signs and wonders, miracle, healings, and the supernatural.
- To empower people for the work of ministry, both here and around the world.
- To impart anointings upon those who are called into the five fold ministry.
The River Church School of Ministry (RCSM) is designed for the person who wants to make a difference in the world around them, and around the world. Students of the school will have the opportunity to join us on missions trips to Africa, Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Students will receive hands-on experience in the supernatural as they heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, and cast out demons.
Total reliance upon the Holy Spirit is the only way we can insure our success in any area of our Christian life. Therefore, it is necessary for us to “hear” what the Spirit is saying to the Body of Christ today. We must develop an ear to hear the prophetic and revelatory language of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn to hear the voice of God and how to properly understand the prophetic. Students will learn how to access the heavenly realms and know the heart and mind of God in a deep, loving relationship with our Heavenly Father.
As each student develops in character and integrity, they will build a strong foundation for both the prophetic and supernatural power of God working in their lives and ministry. It is character and integrity that make a man or woman of God—not just the anointing.
The River Church School of Ministry is unique. We use a combination of correspondence courses from Tom Scarrella Ministries (Ministry Training Institute), along with classes that will be held weekly. The student will also be required to be at all River Church services. It is important that the students receive teaching and preaching that lines up with our foundational beliefs. We must know that the student's vision is lining up with the vision God has given concerning the prophetic and signs and wonders. "How can two walk together unless they agree?"(Amos 3:3) Then we will build the Kingdom together with Kingdom-minded people.

Courses of Study
RCSM maintains the philosophy of integrity in ministry just as Proverbs 10:9 instructs, “He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known.” (NKJV)
Each course of study will require portions of reading both from course manuals and books. On each exam, students will be asked whether or not they've read the required reading material. Therefore, remember that honor and integrity are not only requirements for all believers, but essential for those who are being trained for ministry.
Following are each of the five course outlines and lessons:
Signs, Wonders, and Miracles
Course Description:
The Signs, Wonders, and Miracles course will prepare students for the power of God to flow through them to the sick, bound, and hurting. Miracles were normal to Jesus as they should be to the believer. The training offered in this course is life changing, covering subjects such as Healing and Deliverance. Upon completion of the Signs, Wonders, and Miracles course, students will be released into the miraculous hand of Jesus, training them for an effectively powerful ministry to the sick, bound, and poverty stricken.
Lessons:
Healing – How to Minister It and Receive It
Ministering Deliverance to Those Demon Possessed

The Prayer course reveals the different types of prayer, taking prayer from “devotion to delight,” and instructs students how to pray to get results.
