Your training at FIRE School of Ministry (FSM) is valuable. To help you continue your education, FSM and Hartwell Quest (HQ) have established an official credit transfer and transcription agreement.
We are here to help you easily transfer your FSM credits into affordable, biblically-sound degree programs* so you can finish your studies and continue impacting the globe for the Kingdom.
As you navigate your next steps, choose the pathway below that best supports your current calling and educational goals.
Have your FIRE School of Ministry courses transcribed by HQ for direct transfer into approved institutions that HQ has formal credit transfer agreements with. The cost for this service is $20 per course transcribed (up to 20 courses or 54 units). Additionally, you can complete HQ Smart Courses™ or certificates with the ability to transfer them into the degree of your choice at a multitude of accredited institutions.
As you transition from FIRE School of Ministry, your hands-on training does not have to stop. FSM alumni are invited to apply for the Global Bridges Scholars program!
Through this initiative, you can finish your academic degree with one of our accredited partners while participating in a non-academic ministry fellowship with HQ. Best of all, your current ministry roles, church involvement, or volunteer work can directly fulfill your fellowship requirements. FSM students transitioning into this program may also be eligible for generous Global Bridges Grants (up to $2,500) to help fund their ongoing ministry.
Step 1: Explore how HQ can help you transcribe your FSM credits or finish your degree through the Global Bridges Scholars program.
Step 2: Contact us with any questions you might have about your specific credits.
Step 3: Apply to Hartwell Quest and let us know you are an FSM student seeking credit transcription or joining the Global Bridges Scholars program.
