Foundational Purpose
Founded in 1996, incorporated in 1997 and located in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, the Fountain of Life School of Ministry was designed to provide the student with a sound Bible and Ministry education. Initially, the vision was to provide accredited Christian education for the First Nations communities of northern Saskatchewan. However, the student body has always been a mix of cultural backgrounds, including students from Africa, Japan, various provinces of Canada and the First Nations of Saskatchewan.
Current Goal
The primary goal of FLSM is to offer practical training for ministry in order to help students to know God in Christ better and to prepare students to understand and perform
the various components of Christian ministry with confidence and
competence. Development of new course offerings and programs is
ongoing. Training includes officiating at weddings, funerals, communion
services, doing pastoral visitation, performing clinical pastoral
counsel in both street and prison settting, doing psychometric skill
and education testing, delivering sermons, performing baptisms and
dedications, leading worship and Bible study, et al.
Who and Where We Are
Fountain of Life School of Ministry is also known under the secondary names FLSM, Fountain of Life Colleges and Fountain of Life. The school is located in the Northeast wing of the Prince Albert Apostolic Church building, a former Catholic school/convent, and it occupies a large usable space that readily facilitates expansion. If you are a team oriented individual that loves the Lord Jesus, would like to know more about your ministry and calling and would like to help shape a dynamic school, you are welcome as a student at Fountain of Life. Please watch the video below for a short introduction (to fully develop the full semester on site and online curriculum we have temporarily discontinued the 2 week block training mentioned at the end of the film).
