Program
Called College stays on-mission by training young pastors and missionaries for vocational ministry. We do this through two efforts: the Ministry Diploma and the Associate’s Degree, powered by North Central University.
Ministerial Diploma
The Called College Ministerial Diploma, awarded by the Illinois District Council, delivers the discipleship and ministry training the next generation of church leadership needs.
- Training includes practical ministry courses and regular opportunities to serve in Illinois AG churches.
- Lectures and practicums led by ministry experts enrich students’ learning.
- The Ministerial Diploma is the Illinois District’s endorsement that our young graduates are ready for full-time, vocational ministry.
Associate’s Degree
Called College students earn an accredited Associate of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies or Global Studies online through North Central University, our Academic Partner, while training for ministry at Called College.
- High-quality academics prepare our students to study Scripture, theology, and the great teachings of the Church.
- Online studies allow students more flexibility in their schedule.
- The degree program meets the requirements for credentialing with the Assemblies of God.
