Homework assignments and class attendance requirements at Encounter School of Ministry are based on the “honor system” which is intentionally designed to do just that - build your honor. We grow in integrity through opportunities to testify to our commitments before the Lord. Therefore, we invite students who have completed at least 80% of their homework and have missed less than 2 classes per quarter (or contacted Encounter with explanation), and completed an approved ministry project to complete the following honor form to affirm their eligibility for graduation. Once we receive the signed form, we will confirm the status of your student ministry project and confirm eligibility for certification. Once successfully submit, you will see the message "Your responses were successfully submitted. Thank you!" on your screen.

"I testify by my signature below that as a Year Two student: I am eligible for certification. I have met the requirements for completed ministry project, attendance for each quarter and have completed at least 80% of my homework assignments (reading, journal entry, activations). I further attest to the passion and hunger I have to minister out of my identity in Christ, represent the Father well, and pursue a lifestyle totally reliant on the Holy Spirit! As an Encounter Ministry student, I am believing in the God-given dreams for my life and declare that what God begins in me, he will see it to completion!"

Summary: During the graduation ceremony, when your name is called, we will be reading off a one sentence statement of what you plan to do after graduation to take what you have received at the Encounter School and release into the world around you in your next season of life. The formula will be “After graduation (name) plans to _________________.” This statement can be as general or specific as you like. Through this graduation statement, we hope to celebrate and encourage each graduate on the ways that they are seeking to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in your sphere of influence.

Examples:

“After graduation, (name) plans to intentionally foster a deeper life in the Holy Spirit in (his/her) family and get help starting a prayer ministry team at (name of Church).”

“After graduation, (name) plans to join the Encounter inner healing and freedom ministry, continue to work with the healing services in my parish and seek out opportunities for power evangelization.”

“After graduation, (name) plans to bring greater transformation to his/her business by offering to lead a prayer group and Bible study along with a new commitment to help those coming out of addiction and into life in Christ.”
