General Mentoring Info

General Overview

Mentoring is Required

Mentoring is a required component for all academic coursework and is an integral part of every program we offer.  It is what moves mere theoretical knowledge (the head) to spiritual formation (the heart) and then to ministry practice (the hands).

It is important to understand that the regular meetings of the mentor with the mentoree are considered a part of class meeting time.  Most ASM classes are 3 semester hours, which requires 2.5 hours of instructor contact time per week.  Since the typical teleconference class meets between 1.5 to 2 hours, the mentoring component must fill in the gap of the contact time.

Mentoring Objectives

The mentoring program at ASM is intended to accomplish four objectives:

  • Provide accountability for the student to ensure he or she accomplishes the necessary coursework in a timely fashion.
  • Challenge the mentoree to reflect upon the personal implications of what was learned in the class.  In other words, how does this information assist the student to grow in grace.
  • Push the mentoree to consider the practical ministry implications of the course.
  • Direct the student in his or her formation as a minister by developing and maintaining spiritual disciplines (e.g., prayer, Scripture reading, and evangelism).
