Q. I don't have a degree. Can I still enroll in the Benny Hinn School of Ministry?

A. You do not need a high school diploma or college degree for enrollment. Our desire is to make our classes available to anyone who wants to learn and a commitment to develop a deeper personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Q. Do I need a broadband connection to take the Internet courses, or can I use my dial-up connection?

A. Broadband allows more enhanced viewing and is recommended but is not required. Students not only can use either broadband or dial-up, but can also select audio or video versions of the lessons, depending upon preference.

Q. Can the classes be counted toward college credit?

A. At this point they cannot, but our ministry is discussing a possible educational relationship with an excellent Christian college that would allow credit toward a degree. More information will be forthcoming as that relationship develops.

Q. How long does it take to complete each class?

A. On-location classes normally involve 10–12 sessions, which last 2 hours each and are held one night each week. Online education is self-paced, so the length of time will depend upon personal preferences, determination, and schedule.

Q. How much time will I have to take the entire course?

A. From the time of enrollment, you will have 13 weeks to complete the course. This is plenty of time, allowing an average of one week to go through each of the 12 sessions and practice tests, plus an additional week to complete the final exam successfully.

Q. Why am I allowed to take only one class per week?

A. Careful research has shown that a majority of our students are able to get the most from their courses if they follow the pattern set by Pastor Benny in our campus classes, allowing a full week between class sessions to study and review the educational materials. Our primary desire is not quantity but quality and long-term effectiveness, and we trust that each student will use the only-one-class-per-week timetable wisely.

Q. How much does it cost to be a student?

A. The investment is minimal, $75 per online class.

Q. What distinguishes the Benny Hinn School of Ministry from all the other training facilities, Bible schools, and Christian colleges?

A. God specifically called Pastor Benny Hinn to establish the School of Ministry in early 2005. Pastor Benny's unique calling ministry is based on heaven's cry for souls, SOULS, SOULS! He believes that one of the greatest needs today is for strong, anointed believers who understand God's desire for us to reach the world with the sould-saving and miracle-working power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and who know that impacting the globe is "not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6). God's anointing on students in both on-location and online classes continues to fulfill that calling and desire in a unique way!

Q. Why is there such an emphasis on signs and wonders?

A. The Bible clearly tells us that God is a God of signs and wonders. In Daniel 6:27 we read, "He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth." Our wonderful Lord tells us, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shallhe do; because I go unto my Father" (John 14:12). And immediately after telling His followers to "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15), Jesus Christ spoke of the signs that would follow a wonderful calling we have to learn of His miracle-working power and His calling upon our lives with signs and wonders, and with diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?" (Hebrews 2:4).

Q. What type of video and audio formats do you support?

A. We currently only support windows media formats (.wmv & .wma) for both video and audio. For video, please download the latest version of Window Media Player. An audio player compatible with .wma format is required to listen to the audio. Let us know if you have any questions concerning a specific format.

Q. Do you plan to support other video and audio formats?

A. Yes, we will post this in the FAQ when other formats become available.

Q. What browsers do you support?

A. For best viewing experience, use the current version of Internet Explorer (IE 6.0.x). Again, this is the most commonly used browser. For those with specialized browsers, you should also still be able to use current versions of Firefox, Opera, Netscape, and Macintosh's Safari. Please let us know if you have technical difficulties using your browser as you go through the School of Ministry courses.
