I thank my God … because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now” (Phil. 1:3–5)

✠ Partnership Program

We are excited to share our Partnership Program. This program is designed to offer partnership opportunities in our online school community and beyond. Our church partners will enjoy recognition within the community and around the world.

When the global churches come together to accomplish the Great Commission, in their village, in their country and throughout the world, it is simply beautiful to behold. While there remains much to do, it is only right to step back during a time like this and thank God for what He is doing. We strongly value partnerships with churches and other ministries. Online, we give our students easier access to mentoring and learning opportunities through the Research, Theology and Teaching Ministry, which has been in place since 1979. RTT is a ministry of Eric Michel Ministries International that governs our Seminary and Bible Academy in collaboration with the Interdenominational Assembly of Churches.

✠ Our Mission

At the RTTM Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy, we strive to prepare Christ’s servants, who embrace Christ’s call and transform the world through the study and application of God’s Word

FOJSBA’s online campus.(Google Classroom)
The primary purpose of FOJSBA is to train men and women for EMMI and to provide a flexible theological program that does not require students to leave their jobs to complete their studies.FOJSBA is committed to maintaining high academic standards and providing students with a quality theological education equal to or higher than that offered by accredited institutions.FOJSBA is a sub-ministry of the Research, Theology, and Teaching Ministry of Eric Michel Ministries Int’l that focuses on theological education both in and outside Canada. Through FOJSBA, we seek to provide biblical training for ministers and aspirants who lack the time or money to pursue extended formal theological education.

All our courses are

“Implementing Team Impact Christian University Curriculum”

and accredited by Theological Accreditation International (TAI) or by the World-Wide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions. Both are in governmental accreditation, extended exclusively to private, Christian institutions upon inspection and approval of their programs, operations, and integrity. WWAC is a worldwide accreditation that honours the separation of church and state and extends beyond national boundaries. Its standards and expectations measure compliance with Scriptural principles as applied to education. In some countries, accreditation of universities and seminaries is a voluntary process with accreditation granted by private, non-governmental agencies. Governmental agencies do not provide theological or ministry accreditation.

Government-recognized accreditation is not required for the religious vocations we equip our students for, and people working in ministry positions do not need a government-accredited degree. We prepare our students for work in our ministries as ministers or lay services at Eric Michel Ministries International. We will seek to provide a sound theological standing from which our students fulfill their divine calling. Our courses meet the requirements established by many private, independent, and professional associations. Various regionally or nationally accredited Christian Universities, colleges and seminaries may accept credits and degrees from Footsteps of Jesus Seminary.

Our programs are designed as an ordination course to suit the needs of anyone who wishes to study Christianity and prepare for a variety of professional ministries. It provides extensive knowledge of Christian theology and history, as well as some training in ministerial ethics, pastoral care, and discipleship. Serving as a professional chaplain will require additional Clinical Pastoral Education coursework.

The IAoC is divided into five regions, Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania, overseen by a “District Superintendent Bishop”, who provides the management and spiritual support to the churches that he is responsible for.

Canada is the central headquarters, where Archbishop Eric M. Gagnon (Minister & Founder of Eric Michel Ministries International) is the international Elected Prelate and executive director of the Board of EMMI. Members vote every year on resolutions and other business of EMMI IAoC. All Ministers serve under the annual assembly named the Synode Symposium.
