From the Director of OOAM:
Summertime is here, the flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and the beautiful puffy clouds adorn the sunny blue sky. On Saturday, June 23rd, we had our 1st Joint Commencement with Logos Bible Institute, The Chaplaincy Internship Program, and On One Accord Bible Institute. Excitement filled the air, all our years of hard work had finally come to an end.
This climatic event was over shadowed by the news of one of our classmates passing the week before the ceremony. Had she been here she would have wanted the ceremony to go forward, so it did with tears of sadness and unspeakable joy!
While the faculty and students are still enjoying their Summer break my tasks as the Director continue as I recruit for the Fall semester. I’m planning to visit while recruiting (12) churches before the Fall. Open registration began on Sunday, July 1 and runs through Tuesday, July 31, 2018 for the Fall semester.
I am calling on Faculty, Alumni, and Students to start spreading the word about On One Accord Ministry. Who is going to be the “Top Recruiter of 2018” as the race heats up. We now have in place a New Admissions Procedure. The Chaplaincy Internship Program (CIP) new student orientation is Thursday, August 30th from 6:30-8:00pm First day of class is Thursday, September 6th from 6:30-9:15pm.
