Free Foundations Program
Begin Studying the Word of God at No Cost
The AISOM Free Foundations Program allows students around the world to study the Bible through our structured course system completely free of charge.
Many students begin their journey here as they explore the AISOM program and grow in their understanding of God’s Word.
Through this program you will have access to all 22 AISOM courses and can study at your own pace from anywhere in the world.
What You Receive in the Free Program
Students who complete all 22 courses in the Free Foundations Program will receive:
• A PDF Certificate of Completion sent by email
• Recognition of completing the AISOM biblical study program
• The satisfaction of finishing a structured Bible training curriculum
The free program is designed to allow anyone, anywhere, to benefit from biblical training regardless of financial circumstances.
Important Note About the Free Program
The Free Foundations Program provides access to the courses and a digital certificate of completion.
However, the following items are only provided through the Diploma Credential Program:
• Printed diploma
• Official academic transcript
• Transferable college credits
Many students begin with the free courses and later choose to formalize their studies through the official AISOM diploma program.
The Benefits of the Diploma & Credential Program
Students who enroll in the Diploma Program and complete the 22 courses receive:
• A beautifully printed Diploma in Biblical Studies with an official AISOM gold embossed seal
• An official academic transcript documenting 87 transferable biblical credits
• The ability to transfer those credits toward the Bachelor of Biblical Studies (BBS) degree through Ames Christian University
• The opportunity to continue advancing in ministry training and leadership development
The Diploma Program provides a way to formally recognize the work you have completed and continue advancing in your preparation for ministry.
Continuing Toward a Bachelor Degree
Students who complete the AISOM diploma program may transfer their 87 credits toward the Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree at Ames Christian University.
By completing 11 additional courses (33 credits), students can reach the full 120 credits required for the bachelor’s degree.
For Students Who Cannot Afford Tuition
Some students truly desire to receive the diploma or continue toward a degree but may not currently have the financial resources.
In those situations, some students have been able to ask a family member, church, or sponsor to assist with their tuition.
If someone sponsors your tuition, simply notify us and we will properly credit your student account.
Ready to Begin?
The Free Foundations Program is open to anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of Scripture.

“I have been working on “Battle for the Body” and wow, what a concept. I have been a pastor for nine (9) years and have barely even scratched the surface of all the knowledge. I am finding the wisdom is great and I like what I see. The lessons are challenging. If we only knew as pastors what God is really like we would be a lot more effective in our ministries.”

“I want to express my delight in my first study course. It is truly enjoyable, and rich in a wealth of information. It is concise and to the point – simple, but yet profound in context. I want to express my appreciation to Ames Christian University for making such a wonderful program available, and most of all to the Lord for directing me to your Website. “

“I am really enjoying the Old Testament survey. The added study sections after the self-tests are really good. I am currently in the book of Judges and I seem to be coming along well. God has blessed me with a mind ready to search out and receive His truth. Thank you for this ministry and I am very pleased with the materials so far and I look forward to the coming modules.”

“I enjoyed the first course I am taking. Although between work and my home life with the wife and child I do not get as much studying done as I would like but I am moving along. I would like to say thank you for offering these courses at such affordable prices otherwise I would not be able to go to college right now.”

“I have just recently finished the final exam for Old Testament survey and am preparing to start the next course, New Testament survey. I have enjoyed the layout of the courses. They are informative, simple, and easy to follow, yet offer the challenge that an accredited course should offer. Thank You.”

“Hi, it has been close to one week since I enrolled in your college. I just completed Chapter 5 in the Old Testament Survey course. I think the way Harvestime International has put these courses together is great. I am very excited about the studies and being enrolled at Ames. I wish I would have found out about Ames a long time ago.”

“Genesis has turned out to be a great study. I’ve spent a little too much time on it and have slowed down on progress with the rest of the course, but I think it has been worth it. The course has turned out to be even better than I thought it would be.
