church for at least one year prior to making

Ministerial Experience: AGST believes in ministry

have little or none. The applicant’s active participation
in ministry, whether on a local level as a lay man or on a ministerial
level will be a plus in gaining admission into the school. Only
those who feel a definite call from God into full time ministerial
service need apply.

criteria in order to apply for admission at AGST:

Approval of Church Leaders: It is the sincere
desire of AGST to work in harmony with the national church of
the Assemblies of God in Malawi, as well as with other sister

leadership of his denomination and local church leaders. Initial
Probationary Period: All students initially enter the undergraduate
programs under a probationary period for their first term of study.
During this term they must pass at least 75% of their course work

will move off of probation and become regular students. If they
fail to pass 75% of their course work they will be placed on Academic
Suspension and asked to withdraw from the program.
