Equipped for theWork of Ministry
LASOM is the Louisiana Network's own school of ministry: affordable, live, and built to carry you from a sense of calling to credentialed ministry with the Assemblies of God.
What is LASOM
Built to train ministers, and to grow every believer.
The Louisiana School of Ministry is the Network's sponsored and operated training program. It carries the courses you need to meet the educational requirements for credentialing with the Assemblies of God, and it opens its classrooms to any believer who wants to grow.
Beyond the credentialing track, LASOM's Continuing Education courses run several deeper tracks shaped around your ministry and your interests. Every course is taught live, with caring instructors and real room to ask questions and get clear, culturally relevant answers that make sense.
